THE JACOB BELL PORTRAIT. 
Mr. Hills called the attention of the Council to his 
original proposal, as to the application of the proceeds of 
the sale of the Engravings of the Portrait of the late 
Jacob Bell, viz., . 
That the proceeds of the sale of the Engravings ot the 
Portrait be invested, and the interest of the same be 
applied to the purchase of books to be selected and given 
by the Examiners as prizes at their monthly Examina¬ 
tions to the candidate who shall pass, the Minor Exami¬ 
nation, first in honours, and in the opinion of the Board 
be entitled to the prize. 
Mr. Hills then said that the proceeds of the sale ot the 
portraits had not amounted to as much as he had hoped, 
and he desired, if the Council would allow him, to sup¬ 
plement the amount received by the donation of a suf¬ 
ficient sum to produce £10 a year, and he had, in fact, 
with that view purchased two £100 bonds of the 1870 
5 per cent. Russian Loan. He wished now, therefore, to 
hand over the bonds he had purchased, for the purpose 
originally expressed by him, of establishing a Prize Fund. 
He would suggest that a prize of books, of a nature .to 
assist the student in preparing himself for the Major 
Examination, should be given monthly, by the Board ot 
Examiners, to the candidate for the Minor Examination 
who most distinguished himself, provided such candidate 
took honours in the Examination; for this reason, that 
it would be an additional inducement for the student to 
present himself for the Major Examination. Mr. Huls 
wished it to be quite understood that he merely offered 
this as a suggestion, but would prefer that the . details 
of the distribution of the fund should be left entirely at 
the discretion of the Council and the Board of Examiners. 
Resolved—That the very cordial thanks of the Ccmncil 
on behalf of the Society be tendered to T. H. Mills, 
Esq., for his handsome and liberal offer of the Fund 
he now proposes to hand over for the purpose o 
purchasing prizes to be given to the success! ul can¬ 
didates at the Minor Examinations.
