Colleges, auJ iu cases iu which these were not available, upon the excellent comijcudiuni of facts con- 

 tained in Cassell & Co.'8 Educational Year-Book. The Calendars of Oxford, Cambridge and Dublin 

 Universities, in many cases, do not give the annual values of the numerous Fellowships provided by 

 their Colleges or the sources whence their endowments have been derived. We have not considered 

 it necessary to enquire into their values in detail. Pi-obably for Oxford and Cambridge they may 

 be taken in general at about $1,000 to $1,250 per annum. They have all been endowed mainly by 

 private beneficence. The conditions of their tenure are different in different Colleges, and are under- 

 going change under recent Acts of Parliament, the tendency being to render the Fellowships more 

 productive of literary and scientific results. In Dublin, the Fellowships, which are awarded by open 

 competitive examination, correspond more nearly to what would be called Professorships iu this 

 country, and rise gradually by seniority- to an average j^early value of about $7,000 to $8,000 as we 

 have learned. With regard to the Scholarships of some of the Colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, it 

 is impossible to ascertain from the Calendars for how many years they may be held. Such Scholar- 

 ships we have not mentioned, though possibly they may be tenable after graduation and may therefore 

 serve to encourage literary and scientific work. 



For information as to Fellowships available in the United States and in the British Colonies, we 

 have entered into correspondence with the Presidents of about 150 of their principal Colleges. With 

 regard to the United States and Canada our information is probably nearly complete. From Australia 

 and New Zealand, howevei', rejolies have not yet been received, and hence the statement given below 

 may possibly do these colonies injustice. 



The facts which we have thus gathered together we have thrown into tabular form. The con- 

 tractions employed will probably not require explanation.
