SCHOLARSHIPS, ETC., HELD BY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS. 247 



t ^l) J^-T^^^^ ^^^^^ emoluments which are open to general competition, there arc a 

 A T. , J^'?,"® attached to particular schools, namely, Uppingham, Oakham, Derbv, 

 Ashby-cIe-la-Zouche, and Market Bosworth. But all with the exception of the Ash 

 Exhibitions open to Ashby and Derby, are of small value. The Ash Exhibitions are 

 worth Hvl. a year. 



II. The only case is that of the small close Exhibitions already mentioned which 

 may be held with an open Scholarship. 



,^^\: ^P- P^^^ Scholarships a limit of 801. is imposed by Act of Parliament • no 

 other limit is imposed, but it is very rarely that this amount is exceeded, though a 

 candidate may have endowments from other sources. 



IV. The Tutors have at their disposal a small fund to assist deserving students 

 and recently a former scholar has established a small fund to assist Scholars and 

 i-xhibitioners who may have difficulties in completing their course without assistance 

 beyond what they receive from Scholarships. 



V. (a) The only case known to me was that of an exhibitioner who announced 

 from the beginning that he could come to CoUege only if he was successful in obtaining 

 help from his County Council, and this he failed to obtain. 



(6) I have known of no case of a deserving beneficiary retiring during his course 

 through lack of adequate means.

 than he has had for many centuries past. In many small schools there seem to be 

 now adequate means of preparation in mathematics and in some branches of Natural 

 bciences, but in such schools, if I may judge from my own experience, the literary 

 education not infrequently leaves much to be desired, and on this side a good deal 

 njinains to be done in order to give satisfactory encouragement to those sons of poor 

 men who have literary interests. In the circular regarding open Scholarships which 

 is issued by the group of six Colleges to which Emmanuel belongs, attention is pro- 

 minently called to the possibility of successful candidates being appointed to Honorary 

 Scholarships without emolument, if they so desire. Applicants for Honorary Scholai - 

 ships are, however, very rare. As the great majority of candidates are the sons of 

 professional men, no doubt most parents cannot afford to relinquish the emolument. 



GONVILLE AND CaIUS COLLEGE. 



I. Scholarships offered annually : 3 of 80^., 4 of 60/., 4 of 40/., 3 or more Exhibi- 

 tions. These are tenable normally for three years, but may be, and frequently are 

 extended to four years. In addition to the above there is a Salomon's Scholarship 

 for Engineering for 80/. which is offered triennially, and a special Scholarship in Music 

 value 00/. There are also Scholarships .for post-graduate research ; these vary ii 

 number and value according to varying needs. At present there are • 1 of 150/ 



1 of 120/., I of 110/., 2 of 100/., 6 of 50/. ' ' 



Bursaries vary according to special needs. There are at present • 1 of 50/ 3 of 

 40/. (choral), 2 of 30/., 1 of 25/. ' 



II. Two benefactions are very rarely held together. 



III. Yes. 180/. ^ ^ 6 



IV. So far as I understand the question, we have no funds for the complete main- 

 tenance of students of exceptional promise. But the College habitually does privately 

 help deserving students in need of pecuniary assistance. 



V. (a), (6), (c) No. 



Jesus College, Cambridge. 



I. Entrance Scholarships are limited by Act of Parliament to 80/., and tenable 

 tor two years, but are ordinarily renewed and frequently increased in value Scholar 

 ships (eoccept some close Scholarships) are never less than 40/. and seldom exceed 80/ 



II. Irust and open Scholarships may in general be held together, but the total 

 amount of benefaction received by any individual seldom exceeds 80/ 



III. No hmit is imposed. I do not see how it would be possible to do so Bu^- 

 in determining the value of any Scholarship regard is paid to the total income of the 

 scholar and his parents means. Generally, this is only possible in the case of scholars 

 already in residence. 



IV. No ; but privately many scholars (and undergraduates who are not scholars) 

 receive assistance from the CoUege or the Tutor. ai-noiars; 



V. (a) No, by the conditions : ' Candidates are required to state the value (usually
