idea of what is done with the fellowships, the com- 

 bined result in the case of two colleges is here given. 

 The two colleges in question have been chosen be- 

 cause the writers happen to be in a position to account 

 for the occupant of every fellowship in each college. 

 As will be seen, the two colleges render most valuable 

 assistance to the University; and they have practically 

 rid themselves of the burden of prize fellowships im- 

 posed on them by the Commission of 1856. The two 

 colleges dispose, according to the University calendar 

 of 1905-6, of forty fellowships between them. Of these, 

 five are pension fellowships ; five are held by pro- 

 fessors in the University, as part of their stipend ; 

 twelve are held by University lecturers, demonstra- 

 tors, or other University officers ; eleven are held by 

 college officers or lecturers ; five are held by research 

 students in Cambridge; two junior fellowships are 

 held by non-residents. One of the latter was recently 

 appointed to a professorship in another University, 

 and his fellowship has just lapsed ; the other holds a 

 prize fellowship. It is unlikely that, when his fellow- 

 ship lapses, another prize fellow will be elected in his 

 place. There are in residence at each of the two 

 colleges a number of University lecturers and officers, 

 and of college lecturers, for whom no fellowship can 

 be found. Speaking generally of the fellowships 

 allotted to college teaching, it may be said that, with 

 the help of a portion of the Tuition Fund, they enable 

 the colleges to provide the college lecturers with 

 stipends on which an unmarried man, occupying 

 rooms in college, may comfortably live. When we 

 turn to the University lectureships, there is often 

 another tale to tell. 



The University income, which has to bear almost 

 the whole cost of modern developments, is made up 

 of the following items : matriculation, degree, ex- 

 amination, and other fees, ;£'30,ooo; direct contribu-
