It is obviously necessary, if the purpose of these Scholarship and Fellowships is to be achieved, that a Scholar or Fellow should not be allowed, during his tenure of the Scholarship or Fellowship, to engage in other work that would interfere with the progress of his research. The Committee think it right to require, in any case where for special reasons other work is proposed to be undertaken than that for which the Scholarship or Fellowship is claimed, that the character of the work proposed, and the demand on the time of the Scholar or Fellow which it will involve, be definitely stated in the nomination or application, in order that the Committee may define the conditions under which in each case such work may be undertaken.

Nominations for Scholarships, and Applications for Fellowships and Grants, must be lodged with the Secretary not later than 1st April in any year. The final award of the Executive Committee will be announced in due course; and all Scholarships, Fellowships, and Grants awarded in any year shall date from 1st October, unless expressly stated otherwise.

A student who intends to graduate at the close of the Summer Session or opening of the Winter Session may be nominated for a Scholarship, or may apply for a Research Grant, on or before the 1st April preceding; but he shall not be eligible to receive either until he has graduated.

CARNEGIE SCHOLARSHIPS IN SCIENCE AND MEDICINE.

The Executive Committee are prepared to consider applications for Carnegie Scholarships in Science and Medicine on the following conditions:

I. A Scholar must be a graduate of a Scottish University who desires to devote himself to higher study and research in some department of science or medicine.

II. A Scholarship shall be of the annual value of £100, payable by half-yearly instalments in advance, the second instalment being payable on the receipt of a satisfactory report by the Scholar and certificate from the authority under whose supervision the Scholar has been working. The Executive Committee reserve power to suspend or withhold payment, if not satisfied with the progress or conduct of the Scholar.

A Scholarship shall not be held along with any other scholarship or position of emolument, except with the sanction of the Executive Committee.

In the event of a candidate holding or obtaining any other scholarship or position of emolument, the Executive Committee may, in place of granting or continuing to grant a Carnegie

Scholarship, supplement the amount of such scholarship or emolument so as to bring the income up to at least £100, the candidate thereby ranking, and coming under the same regulations, as a Carnegie Scholar.

III. A Scholar shall ordinarily be expected to devote his whole time to the purpose for which the Scholarship is awarded. If he proposes to undertake other work during his tenure of the Scholarship, he must define such work precisely, and obtain the sanction of the Executive Committee.

IV. A Scholarship shall ordinarily be tenable for one year; but it may be renewed for a second year, if the Executive Committee deem this expedient.

V. A candidate must be nominated by a Professor or Lecturer in a Scottish University, or by a Teacher in Scotland recognised for the purpose of graduation by a Scottish University, under whose supervision, unless other supervision be approved by the Executive Committee, he shall work during his tenure of the Scholarship.

The Nomination Form, to be signed by the nominator and the candidate, must contain information on the following points, all of which will be taken into consideration in estimating the relative claims of candidates :

(1) The age of the candidate, his career as a student, and his knowledge of modern languages.

(2) His special fitness for the work proposed,

(3) His programme of study and research during his tenure of the Scholarship, and where and under whose supervision he proposes to work.

(4) Whether the candidate proposes to undertake other work during his tenure of the Scholarship; and, if so, the character of the work proposed, and the demand on his time which it will involve.

(5) Whether the candidate holds, or expects to hold, any other scholarship or position of emolument; and, if so, particulars of the amount and duration of such scholarship or emolument.

(6) The names of two or more authorities, other than the nominator, to whom the Executive Committee may refer as to the qualifications of the candidate.

The nominator must, if required, satisfy the Executive Committee that the candidate, if appointed to a Scholarship, will be provided with the facilities and supervision necessary for carrying out his programme of study and research, and that such information will be furnished on his progress and conduct as may seem expedient to the Executive Committee.

VI. By accepting a Scholarship a Scholar comes under an

obligation to submit such reports on the progress of his work as the Executive Committee may require.

VII. Nomination Forms may be had from the Secretary to the Carnegie Trust, The Merchants' Hall, Hanover Street, Edinburgh, to whom all communications must be addressed.

I. A Fellow must be a graduate of a Scottish University who has given evidence, preferably by work already published, of capability to advance science or medicine by original research, and who desires to devote himself further to this work.

II. A Fellowship shall be of the annual value of £150, exclusive of such special expenses in connection with his research as the Executive Committee may allow. Payment shall be made by half-yearly instalments in advance; but the Executive Committee reserve power to suspend or withhold payment, if not satisfied with the progress or conduct of the Fellow.

A Fellowship shall not be held along with any other fellowship or position of emolument, except with the sanction of the Executive Committee.

III. A Fellow shall ordinarily be expected to devote his whole time to the purpose for which the Fellowship is awarded. If he proposes to undertake other work during his tenure of the Fellowship, he must define such work precisely, and obtain the sanction of the Executive Committee.

IV. A Fellowship shall ordinarily be tenable for two years, the extension to a second year being dependent on the receipt of a satisfactory report by the Fellow on his work during_the first year; but it may be renewed for a third year, if the Executive Committee deem this expedient.

V. A candidate must furnish the Executive Committee with information on the following points, all of which will be taken into consideration in estimating the relative claims of candidates:

(1) His age, his career as a student, and his knowledge of modern languages.

(5) Whether he holds, or expects to hold, any other fellowship or position of emolument; and if so, particulars of the amount and duration of such fellowship or emolument.

(6) The names of two or more authorities to whom the Executive Committee may refer as to his qualifications.

(7) An estimate, as detailed as is possible, of special expenses, if any, required in connection with the research he proposes to undertake.

VI. By accepting a Fellowship a Fellow comes under an obligation to submit such reports on the progress of his work as the Executive Committee may require.
