the Educational Endowments Act of 1882, and approved by her Majesty in Council on 17th November 1888. Under this scheme the endowment is administered by a governing body incorporated by the name of "The Spence Bursary Trust."

The following regulations were adopted by the Trust in February 1889:—

1. The Bursaries shall be awarded by competitive examination among deserving students who have attended one or two sessions in the Faculty of Arts at the University of St Andrews or Edinburgh-that is to say, who have attended one session in the case of students who have immediately after matriculation entered the second year's classes of Humanity, Greek, and Mathematics, and intend to graduate in three years from the time of their entrance, or who have attended two sessions in the case of those who have entered the first year's classes and intend to graduate in four years from the time of their entrance session in the Faculty of Arts-and shall be tenable for two years in the Faculty of Arts at these Universities.

2. The Governors shall determine from time to time how many of the said Bursaries are to be open for competition in each University, and the Bursaries shall be of the value of £30 for the first year of tenure, and £40 for the second year.

3. It shall be in the power of the Governors to award to any Bursar who shall have graduated in Arts or have passed all the examinations necessary for a Degree in Arts during his tenure of a Bursary, if they shall be satisfied of his merit, a Bursary of an annual value of £50, tenable for one year, on condition that the Bursar shall for that year attend such a curriculum of study in one of the other Faculties in either of the said Universities as the Governors may approve.

4. The subjects of examination shall be Latin, Greek, and Mathematics.

5. The Bursars shall be paid quarterly in advance; but every Bursar shall, before receiving his first payment, produce evidence to the Factor of the Trust that he is attending two full classes in the Faculty of Arts at the University of which he is an alumnus ; and, before the next instalment is paid, shall produce certificates from the Professors whose classes he is attending that they are satisfied with his class-work and conduct.

6. If, in the judgment of the Governors, the holder of any Bursary shall be guilty of serious misconduct, or fail to make reasonable progress, they may withdraw such bursary, and their determination in such case shall be final.

Factor of the Trust-Henry A. Pattullo, Solicitor, 1 Bank Street, Dundee.

FORBES.

These Bursaries were founded in 1875 by the late Rev. Dr Forbes, Free St Paul's, Glasgow. He bequeathed the sum of £1000 to the College of St Salvator and St Leonard, to institute two Bursaries of "one Bursary of say £22, 10s. to the most deserving entrant into the College in point of character and attainments, a preference being given to students from Perth and Dunkeld ;" and another Bursary, of same amount, to be competed for by students during their second year of attendance at College; and both Bursaries to continue until the curriculum of the students has been completed. Dr Forbes also bequeathed the sum of £500 for Bursary to entrants, to be assigned by competition. The Bursaries are at present of the value of about £15.

Patrons-Mr Selkirk's Trustees: viz., the Minister and Schoolmaster of Markinch, ex officio, and three elected Members.

FAIRWEATHER.

These Bursaries were founded in 1880 by Mrs Fairweather, Carnoustie, in memory of her late husband, Mr A. B. Fairweather, Dundee. The following are the regulations drawn up by the Trustees for the administration of these Bursaries : (1.) That they be called the Fairweather Bursaries, in memory of the donor and her husband. (2.) That a College or University Bursary, of the annual value of £25, be open to competition each year to pupils attending any school in Dundee. (3.) That these Bursaries be tenable for three years, subject to a favourable report of the Bursars at their College Classes being received by the Trustees. (4.) That it be a condition of tenure that the Bursar proceeds to graduation in Arts or Science. (5.) That the Bursaries shall be held (meanwhile) by students attending the United College of St Andrews, and that the competitors shall be required to present themselves for examination at the annual Bursary Competitions at the United College in October.

Secretaries to the Trust-Messrs Thomas Thornton, Son, & Co., Solicitors, Dundee.

BLYTH.

The late Mrs Agnes Carmichael or Blyth, of Castle Garden, Crail, by her settlement, dated 14th June 1878, bequeathed a

sum 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."

66

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 Right 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 Tully powrie, 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 be-

haviour 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.

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.
