306 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE.—1913. 
Report of the Committee, consisting of Sir HENRY Misrs (Chair- 
man), Professor Marcus Hartoa (Secretary), Miss L. J. 
CLARKE, Miss B. Foxuey, Professor H. Bompas SmitH, and 
Principal GRIFFITHS, appointed to inquire into and report 
on the number, distribution, and respective values of 
Scholarships, Exhibitions, and Bursaries held by University 
Students during their undergraduate course, and on funds 
private and open available for their augmentation. 
Your Committee sent out early in the spring a Questionary to the Heads 
of all the Universities and University Colleges in the British Isles 
(omitting professional and technical schools). Their answers, arranged 
and somewhat abridged, will be found in Appendix I. We have omitted 
much valuable information dealing with benefactions for post-graduate 
and research study, and limited ourselves to answers dealing with the 
courses for the primary degree. Appendix II., modified from the 
evidence before the Royal Commission on the Civil Service, shows 
in order of value of total emoluments the number of beneficiaries 
entering the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge respectively. 
The Committee desire to express their warm thanks to those who 
by their willing answers have enabled them to present so much 
valuable information to the British Association, and suggest the desira- 
bility of their reappointment.

from endowments of all kinds by a single beneficiary ? 
IV. Have you at your disposal any funds (a) of permanent endowment; or

complete maintenance of students of exceptional promise ? 
V. (a) Have cases occurred in which successful candidates have been obliged 
to decline Scholarships, &c., on the ground of inadequate personal 
means ? :

lack of adequate means ?
