Under the will of the Right Hon. Cecil John Rhodes, certain Scholarships have been established at Oxford for students from the Colonies and the United States of America. These are of the yearly value of £300, and are tenable for 3 years. The number of Scholarships allotted to the Colonies is 60, and of these, 3 are allotted to New Zealand. Two Scholarships (or 100 in all) have been appropriated to each of the States and territories of the United States of North America. In New Zealand one Scholarship is to be filled up each year. In the election of a student to a Scholarship, regard shall be had (1) To his literary and scholastic attainments; (2) His fondness of and success in manly outdoor sports; (3) His qualities of manhood. truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for the protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness, and fellowship; and (4) His exhibition during school days of moral force of character, and of instincts to lead and to take an interest in his schoolmates, for these latter attributes will be likely in after life to guide him to esteem the performance of public duties as his highest aim.

Regulations have been issued by the Trustees nominated by Mr. Rhodes, viz., Earl of Rosebery, Earl Grey, Lord Milner, Mr. Alfred Beit, Dr. Leander, Starr Jameson, Mr. Lewis Loyd Mitchell, and Mr. Bourchier Francis Hawksley, and are to be found in the Calendar of the University of New Zealand. Copies of these regulations may be had on application to the Registrar of the University of New Zealand.

In the supplementary estimates approved by Parliament in 1904, a sum of £1,500 per annum was voted to each of the four University Colleges. Specialities for each College are now being determined by the Government, and when they are settled the money will be payable; but it only covers the quarter 1st January to 31st March, 1905. The Council have arranged to have a conference with the Professorial Board on the subject, and so soon as the manner of expending the money has been agreed upon a statement will be issued with full particulars, and given gratis to all who apply for it.
