SCHOLARSHIPS, ETC., HELD BY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. 309 
IV. (a) There is a small fund applicable. 
(b) Occasionally private benefactions are forthcoming, or the College may grant 
remission of fees or other charges to deserving students. 
V. (a) Yes, occasionally. 
(b) and (c) I cannot recall such cases. i 
VI. A similar provision to that of Brasenose College.” 
MacpaLen CoLLEGE, OXFORD. 
I. 30 Scholarships and Exhibitions in variable numbers, according to needs and 
merits of candidate: tenable for not exceeding four years as a rule, in many cases 
for only three, never exceeding five. 
II. No; except in so far as additional grants are made from the Exhibition Fund, 
independently or in addition to Scholarships. 
III. No limit; but we take maximum annual income into account in awarding 
Exhibitions or grants. There are a certain number of Scholarships and Exhibitions 
given by the County Councils and by the City Companies, sometimes on the results 
of examinations, sometimes on recommendation, which are of very material assistance 
to students. 
IV. (a) The Exhibition Fund, which could in theory be used for complete main- 
tenance of students of exceptional promise. But practically speaking, it is not so 
used, as we always expect that the student should enjoy some other benefaction, or 
that friends should come to his aid. 
V. (a) I have known of no case. 
(b) Very seldom. 
(c) As a rule assistance has been given from the Exhibition Fund, supplemented 
by donations from private friends. 
VI. It not infrequently occurs that successful candidates decline to accept Scholar- 
ships in whole or in part because they do not need the whole assistance. I am in- 
clined to think that money given in Scholarships is at present too diffused, and that 
it is better for County Councils and others to concentrate their resources on a few 
candidates of marked ability rather than to spread them over a number of weaker 
candidates who often are not able greatly to profit by an University education. 
New Coniecr, Oxrorp. 
I. 10 or 11 Scholarships of 50/. in each year, tenable for two years, renewable for 
two years, and in exceptional circumstances, for a fifth ; 6 Scholarships are restricted 
in the first instance, but, if the limited candidates do not show sufficient merit, may be 
thrown open for that competition. About 2 or 3 Exhibitions of 50/., tenable for two 
or three years, confined to those in need of assistance, not tenable with Scholarships. 
II. Tenable with outside Exhibitions (School, County Council, &c.). We have 
a private Exhibition, usually of the value of 30/. a year, given to those men who may 
be in need of assistance, tenable with a Scholarship. 
IV. (a) The Exhibition Fund ; a loan fund. 
(b) A small private benefaction. 
V. (a) I can scarcely remember any such case. 
(6) I can scarcely remember any deserving candidates who have had to retire 
during their course for lack of means, though a man who is not succeeding well might 
be allowed to retire.

I. 34 ranging from 1001. downward, chiefly 80/., mostly restricted to schools or
