NOTES  AND  NEWS. 
The  Fairchild  Scholarship  and  Prizes  for  students  of  pharmacy  in 
Great  Britain  and  Ireland  were  founded  in  1905  by  Messrs.  Fairchild  Bros,  and 
Foster,  of  New  York,  in  appreciation  of  the  friendly  relations  which  for  many 
years  have  subsisted  between  them  and  the  pharmacists  of  the  United  King- 
dom. This  Scholarship  is  open  to  any  apprentice  or  assistant  of  either  sex, 
preparing  to  qualify  under  the  Pharmacy  Act,  1868,  or  the  Pharmacy  Act  (Ire- 
land), 1875.  The  primary  condition  imposed  is  that  the  applicants  satisfy  the 
requirements  for  admission  to  the  respective  qualifying  examination,  e.,  the 
Minor  Examination  in  Great  Britain,  or  the  License  Examination  in  Ireland. 
It  is  proposed  to  award  one  Scholarship  of  the  value  of  £50  annually,  based 
upon  the  results  of  a  competitive  examination. 
In  addition  to  this  Annual  Scholarship  of  £50,  Prizes  of  £5  will  be  awarded 
to  each  of  the  best  candidates  entering  in  England,  Ireland,  Scotland  and 
Wales. 
The  successful  candidate  at  the  examination  to  be  held  the  last  week  in 
June,  1906,  will  be  at  liberty  to  select  any  well-known  school  or  college  of 
pharmacy  in  Great  Britain  or  Ireland,  where  he  proposes  to  study  for  the  quali- 
fying examination  during  a  period  of  not  less  than  three  months  within  a  year 
from  June  I,  1906. 
The  money  of  the  Scholarship  will  be  devoted  to  paying  the  college  fees  and 
expenses,  and  what  is  over  will  be  paid  to  the  scholar  for  maintenance  during 
the  school  term  by  the  principal  of  the  school  on  behalf  of  the  founders  of  the 
scholarship. 
No  candidate  will  be  admitted  for  the  examination  in  1906  who  has  not  com- 
pleted twenty  years  of  age,  or  who  exceeds  twenty-two,  on  January  1,  1906. 
Applications  should  be  addressed  to  the  Secretary,  and  must  in  each  case  be
