The Alfred T. White Scholarship 
Besides these prizes the Chairman of the Governing Com- 
mittee of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is offering the sum of 
$100 00 as a scholarship for any college, to the boy or girl who 
has taken class work at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden not less 
than three seasons, and who has shown marked ability along 
botanical and agricultural lines, both at the Garden and in his 
high school course, as attested in writing by his principal and 
teachers. This prize will not be offered until 1920, and so this 
gives an opportunity for high school boys and girls this season 
to start at the Botanic Garden to work for this scholarship. It 
will be called the Alfred T. White Scholarship. This is a per- 
manent prize and will be offered not only in 1920, but in 1921, and 
in all the years that follow after that. We trust that high school 
principals and biology teachers will bring this to the attention 
of their most promising students in the field of biology; and that 
elementary school principals will do the same in their seventh and 
eighth grades. Full details concerning the conditions of award 
will be published shortly. Application to enter for this scholar- 
ship should be made in writing to the Director, Brooklyn 
Botanic Garden.
