244 REPORTS ON THE STATE 01' SCIENCE. — 1915. 



V. (a) I cannot recall any. 

 (6) I think not. 



(c) If such resignations were threatened, the College would certainly intervene 

 in the case of a proinising and deserving undergraduate. 



VI. I have only to add that this College has for many years past done its best 

 to keep and encourage poor men. 



Trinity College, Oxford. 



I. (a) 18 Scholarships of SOL ; 8 Exhibitions of &01. to 701. ; 4 or more close 

 Studentships of .55/. Scholarships and Studentships tenable for four years ; Ex- 

 hibitions for three or four years. 



II. No. 



III. No. 



IV. An Exhibition Fund from which payments can be made to members of the 

 College who need assistance to complete their University course ; private benefactions 

 from t^me to time. 



V. {a) Very rarety, as candidates usually know the probable expenditure required 

 for a University course. 



(d) I remember none. 



(c) The College has not infrequently supplemented Scholarships by grants from 

 the Exhibition Fund and by loans. 



VI. A considerable number of members of the University, including many of those 

 who hold College Scholarships, have been awarded University Exhibitions by the 

 Education Authority of the district to which they belong. 



Wadham College, Oxford. 



I. 14 Scholarships, 1 of 86^ ; 13 of 80Z., tenable, as a rule, for four years ; 14 Ex- 

 hibitions of 231. to 60^, tenable for four years. 



II. No, with four special exceptions. 



III. No. 



IV. (a) A fund of about 361. in the Warden's hands to assist deserving students. 

 (6) Frequentl}' some assistance from private benefaction. 



V. (a) and (fc) I have never known of such cases. Sometimes deserving students 

 get their Scholarships or Exhibitions supplemented by private benefaction. 



VI. Our scholars almost always come from homes where some help is needed for 

 a boy to come to the University. During my thirty years' experience I cannot recall 

 a single case of a scholar or exhibitioner to whom the money was immaterial, and 

 may also mention that in case of special need or desert help is given for residence 

 during a fifth year. Each such case is decided on its merits. 



Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. 



I. 3 Scholarships of dOl. to 3ol. awarded annually, all tenable for three years with 

 possible extension to a fourth. 



II. and III. No. 



IV. There is a Loan Fund common to all women students in Oxford. 



V. (a) Yes, occasionally. 



SOMERVILLE COLLEGE, OXFORD. 



I. Awarded annually 1 Scholarship of 501. for three years. Awarded triennially 

 2 Scholarships of QOl. for three years, 2 Scholarships of 501. for three years (with 

 possible extension for a fourth), and one of -iOl. for three years. A few Exhibitions 

 (1 to 3) of 201. to 30/. for three years (with possible extension to a fourth). 



Another Scholarship of 501. is awarded without examination annually, usually 

 to extend a three-years' Scholarship to a fourth year. 



II. No. 



III. No. 



IV. (a) No permanent endowment. 



(6) Friends of the College have occasionally supplemented Scholarships privately. 

 There is the Loan Fund (see Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford). 



V. (a) I don't remember such a case. 



(6) One case. The scholar was (aheady) a graduate of another University, and 

 the College thought it best in the scholar's own interest that she should accept a good 

 teaching post offered her and resign the Scholarship. 



VI. A scholar or exhibitioner may, for the benefit of others who need assistance, 

 reUnquish the whole or part of the emolument, while retaining the title.
