CARNEGIE FELLOWSHIPS IN HISTORY, ECONOMICS, AND
MODERN LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE.

The Executive Committee are prepared to consider applications for Carnegie Fellowships in History, Economics, and Modern Languages and Literature on the following conditions:

I. A Fellow must be a graduate of a Scottish University, preferably with Honours in at least one of the Groups: History, Economic Science, English, Modern Languages and Literature, who desires to investigate at first-hand, at home or abroad, some historical, social, economic, or educational problem or factor of modern civilisation, and who can give evidence by his previous career and general culture, and also preferably by work already published, of capability to advance knowledge by his proposed investigation.

II. A Fellowship shall be of the annual value of £150, exclusive of such special expenses in connection with his investigation 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.

In the event of a candidate holding or obtaining any other fellowship or position of emolument, the Executive Committee may, in place of granting or continuing to grant a Carnegie Fellowship, supplement the amount of such fellowship or emolument so as to bring the income up to at least £150, the candidate thereby ranking, and coming under the same regulations, as a Carnegie Fellow.

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, and his career as a student, including particulars as to his general culture and his proficiency in the above-named groups of study.

(2) His special fitness to conduct the investigation proposed, and his previous experience, along with any published accounts of work already done.

(3) His programme of investigation during his tenure of the Fellowship; where he proposes to work; and whether he proposes to work independently or in collaboration.

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

(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 investigation 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.

A Fellow will be expected to submit for publication a thesis or memoir upon the results of his investigation.

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

The publication, in some form, of an account of the results of the research will be expected in all cases.

IV. Instruments of permanent value purchased by means of the Grant shall, at the conclusion of the research or at such other time as the Executive Committee may determine, be placed under the care and at the disposal of the institution in which the research has been conducted, provided that the Executive Committee may, if they see fit, request their return.
