capacity for original work the opportunity of devoting their whole time for a period of not less than two years to the prosecution of scientific research. 2. The Studentships will, until further notice, be of the value of £400 per annum, except as provided in paragraph 14. Additional allowances may be granted in special cases in accordance with the terms of paragraphs 16 and 17. 3. The Studentships will ordinarily be tenable for two years, but they may in exceptional circumstances be prolonged beyond that period. 4. The Commissioners propose to make available for award five Studentships in each year, the actual number awarded to be at their discretion. 5. Candidates will be recommended by Professors and Heads of Departments through the executive authorities of such Institutions as may be invited by the Commissioners to recommend for the awards. The recommendations will be considered by the Commissioners and the awards will be made by selection from among the candidates recommended. 6. A candidate may be recommended through the executive authority of an Institution other than that at which he has graduated. 7. Recommendations made on the prescribed forms must be received at the office of the Commissioners on or before May 1 in the year in which the Studentships are offered. 8. A candidate must be a British subject. 9. A candidate whose age exceeds thirty will be accepted only under very special circumstances. 10. The Commissioners will require to receive particulars of the candidate's academic record and a published paper or a thesis embodying the results of his research work, together with a statement in support of his recommendation from the Professor or Head of the Laboratory under whom he has worked. In considering the claims of a candidate the Commissioners will attach importance to skill in original research as shown in his published papers or otherwise. 11. The student will be required to devote himself to research in some branch of pure or applied Science, the particular nature of the work proposed to be approved by the Commissioners. 12. A Studentship may be held at any Institution at home or abroad approved by the Commissioners. 13. A student will be required to devote his whole time to the objects of the Studentship, and will not be permitted to undertake any work likely to conflict with this requirement. A limited amount of time, however, may, with the approval of the Commissioners, be spent in delivering an advanced course of lectures. 14. A student will not be debarred from holding another position of emolument, but if at the date of his application he holds, or at a later date is appointed to such position he must notify the Commissioners, who may at their discretion modify the value of his Studentship. 15. At the end of his first year's tenure of the Studentship a student will be required to report to the Commissioners as to the progress of his work. If the Commissioners are of opinion that the student has not made good use of his opportunities they may at their absolute discretion terminate the Studentship. 16. At the expiration of his Studentship a student will be required to furnish a complete account of his work. If this is considered satisfactory the Commissioners may award the student an extra grant of £25. 17. A student may, at the discretion of the Commissioners, receive an additional annual allowance, not exceeding £50, towards the cost of University fees, equipment, and materials. 18. The Studentship stipend will be payable quarterly in advance. INDUSTRIAL BURSARIES. 1. The Commissioners propose to establish a scheme of Industrial Bursaries for young men who, after a course of training in a University or approved Technical College, desire to enter Engineering, Chemical, or other manufacturing works. 2. The Bursaries are intended to enable suitable applicants to tide over the period between their leaving College and obtaining remunerative employment in industry. 3. The value of the Bursary will depend on the circumstances of the Candidate, but will as a rule not exceed £100 a-year. 4. A Bursar will be elected in the first instance for one year, but the tenure of his Bursary will ordinarily be prolonged for a second year, provided that the Commissioners are satisfied with the work done by the Bursar during his first year. 5. In special circumstances a Bursary may be renewed for a third year. 6. The appointments to the Bursaries will be made by the Commissioners from among Candidates recommended by the Authorities of certain selected Universities and Technical Schools. N.B.-In dealing with these recommendations great weight will be given to evidence that a Candidate has the practical abilities likely to lead to his advancement in manufacturing work, academic success alone being an insufficient recommendation. 7. The Candidate must be a British subject, under the age of 25. 8. The Candidate must have been a bona fide student of Science for a term of three years. 9. The Candidate must further satisfy the Commissioners(a) That he has obtained, or can, within one month of election, obtain a post in some Engineering or other manufacturing works approved by them. (b) That he is in need of pecuniary assistance to enable him to accept such a post. 10. A Bursar may, if the Commissioners approve, spend part of the tenure of his Bursary in studying a special industrial process or processes in works either at home or abroad. 11. No Bursar shall enter a firm as a premium pupil without the special consent of the Commissioners. 12. A Bursar must submit a report of his work to the Commissioners on the expiration of each year of his bursary. The University of St Andrews was on the List of Institutions invited to nominate in 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, and subsequent years, and the Commissioners awarded Bursaries to students of the University as follows: 1911.

The University Court has been in use to award four Berry Scholarships of the value of £80 each, tenable for one year; but it is in the power of the University Court, on the recommendation of the United College, to continue a Scholarship for a second year. There has been one Scholarship open for competition each year in each of the departments of (1) Classics, (2) Mental Philosophy, (3) Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, and (4) History or English.1 1 The scheme of rotation fixed upon is as follows: English in 1922 and History in 1923, and so on in successive years. The Scholarship in each department is open to candidates who (1) have taken all their necessary graduation course at St Andrews; (2) have passed all the examinations necessary for the Degree of M.A. not earlier than the beginning of the Academic year preceding that in which the Competition takes place; (3) have taken Honours in the department to which the Scholarship is attached. The Competition for the Scholarships may be combined with the Examination for Honours in these Departments, or shall take place as soon as possible after the results of these Examinations are announced. In 1923 the Competition for Scholarship in Mathematics and Natural Philosophy will take place in JuneJuly, and for the other Scholarships in September-October. The Scholarships shall not be awarded unless the Examiners are satisfied with the qualifications of the candidates. Each Scholar must undertake to pursue advanced studies or research in the subjects of his department, under the supervision of the Professors and Lecturers, and to give to tutorial work, during the three terms of the academical year, such number of hours a-week (not exceeding five hours) as the Professors or Lecturers may arrange when the statement of line of work is drawn up. The University Court may withdraw one or all of the Scholarships at any time, or alter the conditions under which they are granted.
