MALCOLM.

The late Miss Catherine Malcolm of Balbedie, Twickenham Park, Middlesex, by her will, dated 22nd December 1898, bequeathed a sum of £4000 for the foundation of a Bursary or Bursaries, one or more, or, in the discretion of the Trustees, a Scholarship, in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of St Andrews, in memory of her mother, Mrs Helen Duncan. She directed the Trustees, in deciding who should have the benefit of the said Bursary or Bursaries or Scholarship, to prefer persons bearing the name of Malcolm or Duncan.

The Trustees have resolved to establish Five Bursaries out of the proceeds of the said sum, and these Bursaries will be held subject to the following conditions and regulations sanctioned by the Trustees, viz. :

1. Five Bursaries, of the annual value of £25 each, shall be instituted, to be awarded in rotation, one bursary tenable for five years becoming vacant each year, on the results of a Competitive Examination, preference being always given to candidates bearing the surname of Malcolm or Duncan.

2. The Bursaries will be competed for at the same time and under the same conditions as are announced for the Entrance Bursary Competition.

3. The Examiners shall be the Professors in the subjects of the Competition in the United College.

4. The Bursars in the first and second year of their course shall be required to attend the classes in the United College, and those in their third, fourth, and fifth year the classes in University College, Dundee.

5. All Bursars shall be required to graduate in the University

of St Andrews.

6. In the event of a Bursary falling vacant out of the ordinary course of rotation owing to the death, resignation, misconduct, or failure on the part of a bursar to comply with the conditions of tenure, or owing to the trustees withholding or suspending the Bursary, it shall be awarded, by competition if there should be more than one candidate, to a student of the same year as that of the previous holder for the unexpired portion of the period of

tenure.

7. It shall be in the power of the Trustees to suspend or deprive a bursar without assigning any reason.

8. The names of all candidates, with information as to the results of the examinations, shall in all cases be submitted to the Trustees for approval before the Bursaries are awarded.

9. The Bursaries shall be continued only during the pleasure of the Trustees.

TAYLOUR THOMSON (for Women Students).

These Bursaries were founded in 1883 by the late Sir William Taylour Thomson, K.C.M.G., C.B., who bequeathed the residue of his estate to the University of St Andrews as a fund for the purpose of founding Bursaries for Students "of both sexes, in equal numbers, and, in the case of females, to assist them, as far as practicable, by means of such bursaries, in qualifying themselves to enter the medical profession." The Bursaries for Women Students range in value from £40 to £30, and are tenable for two years in the United College. Six are open to competition annually.

The Bursary, of the annual value of about £25, is to be competed for annually by students who have already attended three years at the University of St Andrews, and propose to attend thereat for the fourth year, and is tenable for one year only.

RAMSAY SCHOLARSHIPS.

The endowment from which these Scholarships are derived was founded in 1681 by the Rev. John Ramsay, Minister of Markinch. There were formerly two Scholarships on the Foundation, but they were conjoined into one by Ordinance No. 70 of the Scottish Universities Commission of 1889. This Ordinance has been amended by Ordinance No. 20 of the University Court, who have power to regulate the number of Scholarships and their annual amount.

The value of each Scholarship is £80 meanwhile.

The Scholarships shall normally be tenable for two years, but the tenure may be extended for not more than one additional

year.

The Scholarship shall be open only to such candidates as shall have taken the Degree of Master of Arts with Honours under the Regulations from time to time in force for degrees in Arts in the University of St Andrews, according to a scheme of rotation to be determined by the Principal and Professors of the United College.1

1 The present scheme of rotation is as follows: Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in 1923, Classics in 1924 Mental Philosophy in 1925, and so on in successive years.

No student shall be presented to a Scholarship who has not taken the whole of his course, in so far as is required by the Regulations for Degrees in Arts, at the United College.

The Scholarship shall be awarded on the results of the special examination for the Degree of Master of Arts with Honours, in the year when it falls vacant, in accordance with the scheme of rotation; but it shall be in the power of the United College, and in case there shall be no candidate of sufficient distinction in the department to which any Scholarship is then attached, either to reserve the Scholarship for award in a succeeding year in that department or to award it to the most distinguished student in another department. The Scholarship shall be paid in three equal instalments, the first in the month of November, the second in the month of February, and the third at the end of the Whitsunday Term. As soon as possible after a Scholarship has been awarded, the Scholar shall arrange with the Professors or Lecturers in the Department to which the Scholarship is attached as to his line of work, a statement in regard to which, signed by the Professors or Lecturers, shall be sent to the Secretary on or before the first day of November, and shall be by him submitted to the Senatus. He shall not be entitled to attend any University Class or take up any other work except with the sanction of the Senatus. The first instalment shall not be paid until the Senatus has approved this statement. The last instalment shall not be paid until a report by the Professors or Lecturers in the Scholars' department upon the work which he has been doing under their supervision has been submitted to the Senatus Academicus and approved. This report must be sent to the Secretary on or before 1st June. The Scholar must undertake to pursue advanced studies or research in the subject of his department, under the supervision of the Professors and Lecturers, and to give to Tutorial work, during the three terms of the academical year, such number of hours a-week (not exceeding five hours) as the Professors or Lecturers may arrange when the statement of line of work is drawn up.

The Scholarship offered for competition in 1923 is tenable for one year only.
