RESIDENT RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIPS AT THE 
NEW YORK BOTANICAL GARDEN. 
At the annual meeting of the Board of Managers of the New 
York Botanical Garden, held January 12, 1903, provision was 
made for the establishment of scholarships of the value of $50.00 
a month to each person to whom such privileges may be granted. 
The scholarships are designed to meet the needs of professors or 
instructors in colleges, officers of museums, or other botanists 
of equivalent training or experience, who desire to utilize the 
facilities of the Garden for continuing investigations already com- 
menced, or for carrying out investigations which require facilities 
additional to those at their command at home. At a meeting 
of the scientific directors of the Garden, held January 13, the 
following regulations for these scholarships were adopted : 
. Applications for the privileges of resideut research scholar- 
ae should be made in writing to the Director-in-Chief. Such 
application must present a detailed statement of the nature of 
the investigations the applicant desires to pursue, the facilities 
needed, and the time the applicant desires to hold the scholar- 
hip. The application must give a statement of papers pub- 
lished by the applicant, copies of which must be submitted if 
desired. 
2. Holders of resident research scholarships must devote their 
entire time to the investigation undertaken and make detailed 
reports to the Director-in-Chief relative to the progress of their 
investigations whenever requested by him.
