SCHOLARSHIPS.

EXHIBITION (1851) SCIENCE SCHOLARHIP.

Her Majesty's Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851, having resolved to found a number of Scholarships in Science, have offered to this University the right of nominating a person to hold one of these Scholarships every alternative year. The Scholarships are of the annual value of £150, and are tenable for two years, and it is expected that the next nomination by this University will take place in 1900.*

The Commissioners require the following conditions to be satisfied by the person selected to hold the Scholarship:—

(a) That such person is a British subject.

(b) That he has been (or will at the end of the Session of
Studies preceding his nomination have been) a bonâ-
fide Student of Science for a term of three years in
an Institution or Institutions in which special atten-
tion is given to scientific study.

(c) That he has been, for a full year preceding the date of
his nomination, a student of the University of Aber-
deen (or has been a student of this University for a
full year ending within twelve months prior to the
date of his nomination, and since ceasing to be such
student has been engaged solely in scientific study).
(d) That he indicates high promise of capacity for advancing
Science or its applications by original research.
[Evidence of having been engaged in scientific research
will be strictly required, this being one of the main
qualifications for a Scholarship.]

(e) A nominee, whose age exceeds thirty, will be accepted
only under very special circumstances.

(f) The Scholarship may be held at any University in England or abroad, or in some other institution to be approved by the Commissioners. A scholar will be expected to spend at least one year of his tenure of office at an institution other than this University;

*The Commissioners reserve to themselves the right of withdrawing at any time the privilege of nomination, or otherwise altering the scheme of foundation.

and the continuation of the Scholarship for the second year will be dependent on the work done in the first year being satisfactory to the Commissioners. (g) The nominee will be required during his tenure of the Scholarship to devote himself to those branches of Science, such as Physics, Mechanics, or Chemistry, the extension of which is specially important to our national industries, and he must pledge himself not to hold, during such tenure, any position of emolument.

In addition to these conditions, the University Court of this University have sanctioned the following regulations:—

(1) The Scholarship shall be awarded for the best thesis embodying the results of original research in Physics or Chemistry, carried out by the Candidate; but in the event of two or more theses appearing to the Examiners to be of equal merit, an examination may be resorted to as a means of deciding between such Candidates.

(2) The Candidates being otherwise of equal merit, the Scholarship shall, as far as possible, be awarded on alternate occasions for distinction in Physics and Chemistry.

(3) The Competition shall be open to all Bachelors of Science of this University of not more than three years' standing, and only to such.

(4) The Professors of Natural Philosophy and Chemistry shall be the Examiners.
