The Robbie Scholarships.

Founded in terms of the last Will and Testament of William Robbie, retired grazier, Ballarat, Victoria, who died on 18th August, 1913, and who bequeathed the residue of his Estate to the University for the purpose of "providing Scholarships for students attending the said University in the following subjects, namely,

Chemistry, Mathematics, and Natural Philosophy, such Scholarships to be called the 'Robbie Scholarships,' and to be of such number and value, awarded in such manner, tenable for such period and subject to such conditions as the governing body of the said University shall from time to time in its absolute discretion determine, but subject in all cases to the one condition that the holders of all the said scholarships shall be members or adherents of some one or other of the Protestant Churches". The following Regulations have been drawn up for the award of the Scholarships :

:

1. The revenue of the Fund shall be divided each year between the three Departments of Mathematics, Natural Philosophy and Chemistry equally for the provision of Scholarships in terms of the Bequest.

2. In each of the three Departments one or more Scholarships shall be awarded by the Senatus, on the recommendation of the Professor, for Higher Study and Research, within the University, in any approved branch of the subject, the Scholarship to be tenable for one year, but renewable if thought advisable, and its value to be £100, exclusive of the necessary cost of materials in connexion with any Research undertaken by the Scholar. The Scholarship shall not be held along with any other Scholarship, except with the consent of the Senatus, and the Scholar may be called on to assist, to a limited extent, in the teaching or research work of the Department.

3. The balance of the Fund shall be divided, in such sums as may be arranged, among meritorious and deserving students, who are in attendance on a Class or Classes in the subjects named and are in need of financial assistance, the awards to be made by the Senatus on the recommendation of the Professor in each subject, such grants to be styled "Undergraduate Robbie Scholarships".

4. In the event of there being an unexpended balance in any year at the credit of a Department, the same shall not be added to capital, but shall either be carried forward to next year's account or by arrangement with the Professor be made available for a Scholarship in one of the other Departments.

5. These Regulations are tentative and experimental, and may be altered or amended at any time as experience may show to be desirable.

The Helen Scott Fund.

Founded in 1907 by Dr. James W. H. Trail, Professor of Botany in the University, who devoted the sum of £1,000 for the benefit of students requiring assistance to enable them to prosecute their studies at the University. The selection of beneficiaries is not confined to students of any one Faculty, but they must be of proved ability and diligence and distinguished in the study of Botany or Zoology. For terms of the Deed of Foundation, see Appendix N., Calendar, 1908-9.

Patron.-The Founder, whom failing, the Science Faculty.

The Yuill Scholarship in Chemistry.

Founded in 1914 by Mr. George Skelton Yuill, of London and Australia, and consisting of the revenue of £4000. The Scholarship is to be devoted to encouraging the practical application of the Theory and Science of Chemistry to the Arts, Manufactures, and Industries of Great Britain, and to be in memory of the Arts Class, 1864-1868, of which the founder was a member.

The following are the Regulations applicable to the Fund :— The revenue of the Fund shall be used in providing Scholarships and Bursaries according to the three methods stated below as eligible candidates are available and as the funds permit.

The Scholarships or Bursaries shall be awarded by the Senatus on the recommendation of a Committee consisting of the Professor of Chemistry and such teachers of the theory and applications of Chemistry in the University as the Senatus may from time to time appoint to act along with him.

The Recommending Committee shall for the present consist of the Professor of Chemistry and the Professor of Agriculture.

The Scholarships or Bursaries shall be tenable for one year but may be continued by the Senatus for one year or more if this is thought desirable by the Recommending Committee.

The holder shall be required to submit from time to time to the Senatus such evidence as may be required as to his progress and training.

The methods of awarding the Scholarships or Bursaries are, in order of preference, as follows:

I. A travelling Scholarship of £150 per annum shall be open to students of Chemistry in the University who are Associates of the Institute of Chemistry or possess equivalent training, to enable them to carry out an approved course of training in industrial or agricultural chemistry or chemical engineering at home or abroad.

In the event of the selected candidate being permitted to
hold the Scholarship in the University of Aberdeen,
the amount of the Scholarship shall be £100 per
annum. Expenses may be paid from the Fund, up
to £50 per annum, to cover class fees and any special
apparatus and materials required.
Applications in writing for this Scholarship shall be
made before March 1st in each year to the Secretary
of the Senatus, setting forth the candidate's qualifica-
tions and the course of study it is proposed to under-
take.

II. A Scholarship of the value of £100 per annum tenable in
the University of Aberdeen, shall be open to candi-
dates who are professional chemists with practical
experience of some branch of technical chemistry, to
enable them to pursue an approved course of study in
pure science or to carry out investigations into the
processes of which they have technical experience.
Expenses up to £50 per annum, inclusive of any
incurred in the selection of the candidate, may be
defrayed from the Fund for the purposes detailed in I.
Before award this Scholarship and the method of applica-
tion shall be advertised in the chief technical chemi-
cal journals by the Recommending Committee.
III. Any balance remaining shall be devoted to the provision
of Bursaries and laboratory facilities to promising
students who signify their intention of qualifying as
professional chemists to enable them to specialise in
pure and applied Chemistry at the University.

Prizes.

The University Prizes in Mathematics and Natural Philosophy open to Arts students, are tenable also by students in the Faculty of Science who otherwise fulfil the conditions of the Ordinances and the several Foundations. (For Prize winners, see under "Prizes, Faculty of Arts".)

Prizes in Botany and Zoology.

The following Prizes in the Departments of Botany and Zoology are tenable by students in Arts, Science or Medicine:

The Dickie Prize in Botany, consisting of the revenue of £100, given in 1902 by Professor J. W. H. Trail, M.D., for the purpose of encouraging students in the Department of Botany to undertake research in the flora of Scotland, and as a memorial to the late Dr. George Dickie, Professor of Botany in the University of

Aberdeen (1860-1877). The conditions of the competition are intimated each year to students attending the Elementary Class of Botany, who alone may compete.

The Collie Prize in Botany, consisting of the revenue of £100 bequeathed in 1893 by the late Reverend Robert Collie, Sydney, N.S.W., is awarded annually to the most distinguished student of the year of those taking Botany as a subject for the Final B.Sc. Examination.

The MacGillivray Prize in Zoology, founded in 1905 by Mrs. Anne D. Beaton, widow of Rev. Patrick Beaton, M.A., Paris, for the purpose of providing, in connection with the class of Zoology, a prize in memory of her father the late Professor Wm. MacGillivray of Marischal College and University. The capital

fund amounts to £200.

The Nicol Prize in Zoology, being the revenue of £100 given in 1902 by Professor J. W. H. Trail, M.D., for the purpose of encouraging students in the Department of Zoology to undertake research in the fauna of Scotland, and as a memorial to the late Professor James Nicol (1853-1878). The conditions of the competition are intimated each year to the students attending the Elementary Class of Zoology who alone may compete.

The Lyon Prize.

Felix W. Lyon, M.D., King's College, 1850, Edinburgh, who died on 5th January, 1891, bequeathed one-third of the residue of his estate for the purpose of founding an annual prize in the University of Aberdeen, but the conditions of the award having been found to be unworkable a petition was presented to the Court of Session to frame a scheme for the administration of the benefaction. The Court accordingly settled a scheme providing as follows:

1. The Prize shall be called the "Lyon Prize," and shall be awarded in turn in successive Academic years in the Faculties of Science, Arts, Divinity, Law and Medicine. [In the year 1901-2 the prize was awarded in the Faculty of Science; in 1902-3 in the Faculty of Arts; in 1903-4 in the Faculty of Divinity; in 1904-5 in the Faculty of Law; in 1905-6 in the Faculty of Medicine; in 1906-7 again in the Faculty of Science, and so on in the same rotation.]

2. The Prize shall be annually awarded to the Graduate in the Faculty of Science, Arts, Divinity, Law or Medicine, as the case may be, who is selected by the Senatus as the most distinguished graduate of the year, upon a report by the Faculty in which the Prize falls to be awarded in the year in question, after consultation with the professors and lecturers concerned.
