for the foundation of one or more Bursaries in one or other of the Colleges of St Andrews. She directed the Patrons, in nominating and presenting students, to prefer, in the first place, such as are of the kindred of her late husband, Mr Charles Bell Blyth, whom failing, such as are of her own kindred; secondly, such as are of the name of Blyth; thirdly, such as are of the name of Carmichael; and failing students of the above kindred or name, then such as should be found best qualified and most deserving of the same.

It is estimated that the revenue from the fund will amount to about £40 a-year.

The Patrons have resolved-(1) To establish two Bursaries of the annual value of about £20 each. (2) That each Bursary shall be tenable for three years. (3) That students, while holding the Bursaries, shall attend the United College of St Andrews.

For further particulars application may be made to Gray & Martin, Solicitors, 30 Reform Street, Dundee, factors for the Trustees and Patrons.

JOHN AND ISABELLA MACDOUGALL.

These Bursaries were founded by Miss Isabella Macdougall of Perth, "for the encouragement of education in the county and city of Perth, and to afford pecuniary assistance to meritorious students born in said county and city of Perth, who may be attending the classes in the Faculty of Arts in the Universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, and St Andrews."

The Bursaries are to be "of liberal amount," but are "not to exceed £50 per annum," are to be tenable for a period "not exceeding three years," and are to be "held in equal proportions" by students "attending each of the Universities of Edinburgh, Glasgow, and St Andrews."

They are to be conferred on "students of whatever religious denomination, after such competitive examinations as the Trustees may determine. If, in the case of any one of the three Universities named, there be no qualified student from the county or city of Perth attending the Arts Classes, the Trustees may confer the Bursary, naturally accruing to a student of that University, on a qualified student of either of the other two Universities.

The agent for the Trust is Mr W. Cochrane Young, Solicitor, Perth.

BUTE.

This Bursary consists of the free annual income of a sum of £1000, placed in the hands of the Lord Provost of Dundee, on

15th November 1893, by the Most Honourable the Marquis of Bute for the purpose of establishing a Dundee Scholarship or Bursary in the University of St Andrews. The Bursary is tenable by the holder so long as he shall prosecute his studies at the said University, or at any College for the time being affiliated thereto. Patron-The Lord Provost of Dundee.

SCOTT.

George Scott, Esq., late of Eagle Villa, Queen's Road, Peckham, London, S.E., and Tullypowrie, Perthshire, who died on 19th April 1893, gave, in terms of his will, dated 24th March 1893, to his executors and trustees the sum of £1000 upon trust, to be applied to found one or more Scholarships, tenable at the University of St Andrews.

The executors and trustees having agreed that certain wishes of the testator could be better given effect to if the said sum was applied in founding a Bursary instead of a Scholarship, the University Court has mortified the amount of the bequest for the foundation and endowment of a Bursary, to bear the name of "The George Scott Bursary," in connection with the Faculty of Arts, the said Bursary to be held under and to be subject to the conditions and regulations following, viz. :

1. The said Bursary shall be awarded to an applicant who is a native of the parish of Dull, or of the parish of Weem, or of the parish of Logierait in Perthshire, if he pass the entire Preliminary Examination, and obtain at the Bursary Competition a number of marks deemed sufficient by the Senatus Academicus; and if there are two or more applicants who are natives of the said parishes of Dull, Weem, or Logierait, the Bursary shall be awarded to the one who stands highest in the order of merit in the Bursary Competition in the University of St Andrews.

2. If there are no applicants who are natives of any of the said parishes, the Bursary shall be open to all competitors, and shall be awarded according to the results of the Bursary Competition.

3. The Patrons may withhold the Bursary if none of the applicants appear to them to be suitable and deserving, in which case, as in all other cases where, from the death of the Bursar or any other cause, a vacancy in the tenure of the Bursary may result and an accumulation of income may take place, the income for the year or lesser period may be added to capital or be used to supplement future Bursaries as the Patrons may deem best.

4. The said Bursary shall be tenable only during the good

behaviour of the holder, and any student who, in the judgment of the Senatus Academicus, may from misconduct or any other cause be undeserving longer to hold a Bursary, shall forfeit his right to the benefit of this foundation upon the Senatus recording in their Minutes a resolution to that effect.

5. It shall not be competent to any person to hold the said Bursary along with any other Bursary yielding to him an annual income of £30 sterling or upwards; and the right of any student appointed to a Bursary on this foundation shall terminate on his obtaining such a Bursary, and thereupon it shall be open to the Senatus Academicus to make a new appointment in manner foresaid.

6. The said Bursary shall consist of the free annual income of the said mortified sum and accumulations thereof-that is, of the income after deduction of all necessary expenses (about £27).

7. The University Court shall be entitled to make such further regulations, not inconsistent with the foregoing, as it may from time to time consider desirable for the better administration of the said Bursary. Patrons-The Senatus Academicus.

SCHOLARSHIPS.

There are sixteen Scholarships in the University-one of the annual value of upwards of £50, tenable for one year; four of the annual value of £50 each, tenable for two years; one of the annual value of £80, tenable for one year; five of the annual value of £80 each, tenable for one or two years; four of the annual value of £80 each, tenable for three years; and one of the annual value of £150, tenable for one or more years.

RAMSAY SCHOLARSHIP.

The endowment from which this Scholarship is derived was founded in 1681 by the Rev. John Ramsay, Minister of Markinch. There were formerly two Scholarships on the Foundation, but they were conjoined into one by Ordinance No. 70 of the Scottish Universities Commission of 1889.

Under the said Ordinance the holder of the Ramsay Scholarship shall receive one-third of the net annual rents and proceeds of the lands or other property included in the Foundation-the remaining two-thirds being reserved for Bursaries. The value of the Scholarship is about £80.

The Scholarship shall be tenable for one year and no longer. The Scholarship shall be open only to such candidates as shall

have taken the Degree of Master of Arts with Honours in at least one of the groups of subjects prescribed by section xxxvi. of the Regulations for Graduation in Arts, according to a scheme of rotation to be determined by the Principal and Professors of the United College.1

No student shall be presented to the said Scholarship who has not taken the whole of his course, in so far as is required by the Regulations for Degrees in Arts, at the United College.

The scholar must intimate to the College the course of study he intends to pursue during the tenure of the Scholarship.

The Scholarship shall be awarded on the results of the final examination for the Degree of Master of Arts with Honours, in each year, in the said groups of subjects, and in case in any year there is no candidate of sufficient distinction in the group of subjects of that year, according to the aforesaid scheme of rotation, it shall be in the power of the Senatus Academicus to award the Scholarship to the most distinguished student in another of the said groups of subjects.

Founded in 1864 by J. A. Guthrie, Esq. of Craigie, and A. C. Guthrie, Esq. of Torosay. These Scholarships are open for competition to all students who have completed two regular sessions

1 The scheme of rotation fixed upon is as follows: Mental Philosophy in October 1901, Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in October 1902, Classics in October 1903, and so on in successive years.

at the United College, and whose age did not exceed twenty-one years on the 30th of November preceding the election. They are of the annual value of £80, and are tenable for three years. One of these Scholarships is vacant every year. The Guthrie Scholar is to continue his education at Oxford or Cambridge, or (with the consent of the Trustees) at some foreign University. If, after two years of general study, he desires to commence the professional study of Divinity, Law, or Medicine in a Scottish University, he may do so with the sanction of the Trustees. The Trustees have also power to grant permission to the Scholar, on application being made, to continue his studies at the University of St Andrews during the session following his election, but he shall not draw the proceeds of the Scholarship during that session. The Scholar will be required from time to time to satisfy the Trustees of his diligence and good conduct, by producing certificates from the authorities of the College or University in which he is studying. The Trustees are-The Principal of the United College, and the Professors of Humanity, Greek, and Mathematics.

The election of a Scholar on this foundation is held about the close of each session, after an examination, which comprises the following subjects :

1. The four Gospels, in Greek and English.

2. English Composition.

3. Latin.-Translation from Latin authors in Prose and Verse. Latin Prose and Verse Composition. Questions on Roman History and on Latin Literature. Philology and Grammar.
