• The preservation or enhancement of its cultural heritage,
• The preservation or enhancement of its physical environment,
• The granting of financial assistance to students who are in need of assistance,
• The provision of amenities for students with particular regard to facilities for sport and physical education,
• The provision of residential places for students,
• The benefit of such other charitable purposes as shall be consistent with benefiting the said University and the educational purposes connected therewith.

The current Board of Trustees include:
