Abstract

WE are pleased to note that the Court of the Salters' Company have placed at the disposal of the City and Guilds of London Institute a grant of £150 a year, for founding one or more Fellowships for the encouragement of higher research in chemistry in its relation to manufactures. The Fellowships will be awarded by the Executive Committee of the Institute, and the amount of the grant attached to each will be determined by the Committee, with reference to the nature of the research, the time required to complete it, and the merits of the candidate. The Executive Committee will each year apply the sum provided by the Salters' Company to the award of Fellowships to British-born subjects, of a value not exceeding £150 (a) to students of the Institute who have completed a full three-years' course of instruction in the chemical department of the Central Technical College, or (b) to candidates duly qualified in the methods of chemical research in its relation to manufactures, without restriction as to age or place of previous study. A Fellowship may be renewed for a second and third year, but cannot be held by anyone for more than three years. The holders of the Fellowships will be required to devote their whole time to the prosecution of research, unless otherwise sanctioned by the Executive Committee. The researches will be carried out at the Institute's Central Technical College. Applications for Fellowships should be made in writing addressed to the Honorary Secretary of the Institute, Gresham College, Basinghall Street, London, E.C., and should state the nature of the research proposed to be undertaken, and the qualifications of the candidate. The first award will be made early in the new year.
