312 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCTIENCE.—1913. 
VI. Ascholar or exhibitioner may, for the benefit of others who need assistance, - 
relinquish the whole or part of the emolument, while retaining the title. 
Sr. Hueu’s CoLLEGE, OXFORD. 
I. Annually, 1 Scholarship of 25/.; biennially, 2 of 30/., 2 of 40/., all tenable for 
three years and renewable for a fourth. 
II. No. 
III. No. 
IV. None. 
V. (a) No. 
(6) and (c) Retirements would have occurred but for help through the College 
(private Loan Fund) or from the Loan Fund of the Association for the Education 
of Women in Oxford. 
Curist’s COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE. 
I. Average number of scholars and exhibitioners in residence, 40. Nominal 
value, 20/. to 80/.; but additional grants or reduction of fees, amounting to at most 
201., are sometimes allowed privately in cases of poverty. Except there be dis- 
tinct evidence of idleness, the Scholarship is retained normally to end of third year, 
sometimes continued to fourth, and occasionally to fifth year. The total average 
annual amount of the last six years is 1,800/. 
II. No two open Scholarships or Exhibitions tenable together, but the value of a 
Scholarship may be increased. A close Scholarship, connected with a particular 
School, may be held with an open Scholarship. 
III. No. The amount of a student’s income from endowments of all kinds is, 
however, a factor in fixing the amount of his Scholarship, except in the case of those 
elected before coming into residence. 
IV. No. 
V. Candidates for Scholarships awarded before residence has commenced are 
asked to state the minimum value they are prepared to accept, and if they do not 
come up to the necessary standard for that value they are not elected. In very rare 
cases such a candidate has written to say he finds he cannot come into residence 
on account of his Scholarship not being adequate. 
VI. The fund for these benefactions arises partly from trust funds, liable to con- 
siderable fluctuations, but chiefly out of the corporate income, the amount payable 
out of this to the fund being one-quarter of the sum paid in the same year to the 
Master and Fellows; and this sum again has of later years been supplemented 
by grants from the Society. Our system has the great advantage of elasticity; the 
amount and duration of the Scholarship is within certain limits fixed by ourselves 
to meet the requirements of the special case. 
The present system works well. No rich men hold Scholarships, and in 
nearly every instance the benefaction is necessary to enable the student to come to 
the University. The cases in which an intellectually deserving candidate fails to 
obtain a Scholarship are rare indeed ; they hardly exist. It is most undesirable to 
attract by emolument poor men of ordinary ability... . The College badly wants 
funds for advanced students in specialised subjects. 
Downine CoLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE. 
I. 6 Foundation Scholarships at least tenable till graduation standing of 501. to 
807. ;_ a varying number of minor Scholarships and Exhibitions, tenable for one year, 
of 201. to 501. 
Il. No; but may be tenable with benefactions outside the, College. 
Ill. No. 
IV. No. 
V. (a) I can recall no case. 
(6) and (c) Additional aid from the College has prevented any actual retirement. 
JESUS COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE. 
I. Entrance Scholarships are limited by Act of Parliament to 80/., and tenable 
for two years, but are ordinarily renewed and frequently increased in value. Scholar- 
ships (except some close Scholarships) are never less than 40/. and seldom exceed 80. 
Ii. Trust and open Scholarships may in general be held together, but the total 
amount of benefaction received by any individual seldom exceeds 801. 
III. No limit is imposed. I do not see how it would be possible to do so. But 
in determining the value of any Scholarship regard is paid to the total income of the
