(a) To nominate a single candidate as possessed of the strongest claim and the highest promise, and to present his name to the Senatus for appointment to the Fellowship; or (b) To nominate two candidates who appear to possess equal claims and who shall divide the income equally between them, and to present their names to the Senatus for appointment as Fellows, provided always that in the case of the death or disqualification of one of them, the Nominating Committee shall have power either to award the whole income to the survivor, or to order the released moiety to be added to capital; or (c) To hold an examination for the purpose of determining the merits of all or any of the candidates. All regulations for this examination shall be determined by the Committee from time to time. After the examination the Committee shall again meet to award the Fellowship. As in the first meeting, if the members of the Committee present, being either three or four, decide either unanimously or by a majority of three to one, to nominate any one candidate, or any two candidates as equal, they shall so report to the Senatus; or (d) To report to the Senatus that no candidate has appeared deserving of the Fellowship. (2) If the Committee be divided equally, or in the proportion of two to one, the matter shall be submitted to the Principal of the University for the time being, and his award when reported to the Senatus shall be final. X. The holder of the Fellowship shall ordinarily be bound, and shall receive it only on condition that he agree to deliver annually during his tenure thereof a course of lectures, never fewer than three in number, but as a rule six in number, on either (1) Some Greek or Latin author, or (2) Some questions of Greek or Roman History or Literature or Art or Archæology, or the result of work done when attending the British School at Athens, or (3) Some question or branch of Mental Science or Philosophy, or of the History thereof, or (4) Some question or branch of Comparative Philology (Ancient or Modern), or (5) Some question or period of early Christian History or Literature, or (6) Some subject of a nature similar to the foregoing and appropriate to the course of further study the holder of the Fellowship intends to pursue, the subjects specified above being intended only as examples indicating the form and aim of the lectures, and not as prescribing a hard and fast line. XI. The lectures shall be delivered in the College during the winter session at such time as the Senatus may approve, and shall be open to the attendance of students of the University and of others interested free of charge. XII. Notwithstanding my expressed preference for a course of lectures, the Senatus may direct that, instead of delivering such a course, the Fellow shall prepare and submit to them an essay or treatise on a selected subject. XIII. The selection of the subject of the lectures or essay will be determined by the course of further study to which the holder intends to devote himself, and will be subject to the previous approval of the Senatus. If the Senatus think fit they may prescribe the subject with due regard to the Fellow's proposed course of study, or they may sanction a proposal submitted by the Fellow on appointment. N.B.-Large scope has been given for the selection of a subject in order that the holder of the Fellowship may be able to undertake some task that will be in the line of his further studies, and to apply himself to it with good will. Thus if he is to study for the Church (either the Established or any of the Non-established or Dissenting Communities) his subject may properly be one relating to early Christian Literature or History, where there is still room for research. Again, if he means to prosecute his Classical studies, or to devote himself to Philosophy, his subject should be of a nature akin thereto, and likely to further his object. XIV. If a holder of the Fellowship fail to perform the task set him, or if he show by the mode of performance that he has not applied himself to it with proper industry, the Senatus shall withhold the Fellowship from him, declare it vacant, and proceed to make another appointment as before provided. The order of the Senatus in this respect shall be final, and shall not be open to review by the University Court, or in any Court of Law or by any other authority. The holder of the Fellowship by accepting it submits himself absolutely to the jurisdiction of the Senatus. XV. If, at any time, circumstances arise which make it desirable to modify one or more of the provisions of this scheme, the University Court are hereby empowered, on the recommendation of the Senatus, and with the consent and approval of the Chancellor of the University to make such modifications as may be judged expedient, provided that such modifications shall not extend to nor affect the mode of investment provided for in Section I. nor the qualification of an eligible holder specified in Section VI., and that they shall not conflict with the spirit and main object of the foundation. The next award of the Fellowship will be made in 1921. THE JAMES DEY SCHOLARSHIP IN EDUCATION. Founded in 1909 by his family as a memorial of Mr. James Dey, Abernethy, Strathspey.
