General Regulations for Berry Scholarships.

1. The Berry Scholarships awarded in March or April shall be paid in three instalments-the first, of £25, immediately after the appointment; the second, of £25, in November of the same year; and the third, of £30, on the approval at the end of the Winter Session of the report by the Professors or Lecturers in the Scholar's department on the work done by him during his tenure of the Scholarship, and the Scholarships awarded in October shall be paid in three instalments-the first, of £25, immediately after the appointment; the second, of £25, immediately before the Christmas vacation; and the third, of £30, on the approval at the end of the Winter Session of the report by the Professors or Lecturers in the Scholar's department on the work done by him during his tenure of the Scholarship.

2. As soon as possible after the Scholarship is awarded, the scholar shall arrange with the Professors or Lecturers in the department to which the Scholarship is attached, as to his line of work, a statement in regard to which, signed by the Professors

or Lecturers, shall be sent by the scholar to the Secretary on or before the 1st day of July of the year in which the Scholarship is awarded in the case of the Scholarships in Classics and Science, and on or before the first day of November following the award in the case of the remaining Scholarships, and shall be by him submitted to the Senatus at its next meeting. He shall not be entitled to attend any University Class or take up any other work except with the sanction of the Senatus. The second instalment shall not be paid until the Senatus has approved the statement.

3. The third instalment shall not be paid until a report has been received from the Professors in the scholar's department upon the work which he has been doing under their supervision. This report shall be sent to the Secretary on or before 1st March, submitted to the Senatus Academicus, if possible, at its first meeting in March, and transmitted, with any observations which the Senatus desire to make, to the University Court.

4. In case the scholar proposes to study elsewhere than in St Andrews during the Winter Session, application for special permission, accompanied by a recommendation from at least one Professor or Lecturer in the department to which the Scholarship is attached, shall be presented to the Senatus at the time when the statement of the line of work proposed is submitted, and the sanction of the University Court shall also be obtained.

5. Every Berry scholar shall become a matriculated student of the University for the academical year during which the Scholarship is held.

THOMAS THOW.

In 1897 the late Miss Christiana Thow of Craigmore, near Dundee, left a bequest of £2000, to be held and administered by her Trustees, for a Scholarship in the Faculty of Arts in the University of St Andrews, to be attached to such Chair, and to be subject to such rules and regulations as her Trustees may from time to time fix, and alter, and prescribe, but so as that no more than the free yearly revenue of the said sum of £2000 shall at any time be enjoyed by the Student holding the Scholarship, and which Scholarship is to be called the "Thomas Thow Scholarship." The Scholarship, of the annual value of £50 or more, is tenable for one year, and is open to competition by Students of either sex, natives of and resident in Dundee or the County of Forfar (a preference being given to those resident in Dundee), in the Faculty of Arts, who have completed two years of study in such Faculty and are qualifying for Graduation in

Arts with Honours. Candidates must have passed two of the three subjects in which the standard is that required for the Ordinary Degree, these two not being in the department in which the candidate intends taking Honours. The Scholarship cannot be held along with any other Scholarship or Bursary. In accordance with a rotation fixed by the Trustees, the Scholarship is attached in 1909-10 to the departments of English or History or Modern Languages, but failing a suitable candidate in one of these departments it may be awarded in another department. The rotation is as follows: (1) Classics, (2) Mental Philosophy, (3) Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, (4) English or History or Modern Languages.

Agents for Trustees-Thos. Thornton, Son, & Co., Solicitors, Dundee.

MILLER (GENERAL SCHOLARSHIP).

In 1853 the late Henry Miller, Esq., a native of Scotland, established a Fund, now yielding about £60 a-year, to be expended in Prizes for the encouragement of learning in the United College,

By Ordinance No. 68 of the Scottish Universities Commission of 1889 it is provided that there shall be two Miller Prizes, to be awarded annually under the following conditions-each Prize consisting of one-half of the free income of the fund:

1. In 1897, one Miller Prize shall be awarded by the Senatus Academicus to the most distinguished student in the United College in Mental Philosophy, and the other to the most_distinguished student in Zoology and Botany. In 1898, one Prize shall be awarded to the most distinguished student in Classics, and the other to the most distinguished student in Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, and Chemistry, or any two of these subjects; and so on in alternate years thereafter.

2. The said Prizes shall be awarded on the result of the final examination for the Degree of Master of Arts, with Honours, in the case of those for Classics and for Mental Philosophy, and of the second examination for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in the case of those for Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, and Chemistry, or any two of these subjects, and for Zoology and Botany, under such regulations as the Senatus may prescribe.

3. The Prizes shall not be awarded to any student who has not taken the whole of his course for either of the said degrees at the United College in the University of St Andrews.

In accordance with the foregoing conditions the Miller Prizes will in future be awarded on the result of the M.A. and B.Sc.

Examinations respectively held in October of each year. They are open to men or women students. As regards the Prize in the department of Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, and Chemistry, special weight will be attached to Mathematics and Natural Philosophy in October 1908, and to Experimental Physics and Chemistry in October 1910, and so on in alternate years.

The competition takes place at the commencement of the Session immediately following that of their attendance on the third class.

BRUCE OF GRANGEHILL AND FALKLAND (LOGIC).

This Prize was founded in 1865 by Mrs Tyndall Bruce of Falkland, and is directed to be annually awarded by competition to a Student "for excellence in the study of Logic and Metaphysics." The value of the Prize is £10. Patrons-The Senatus Academicus.
