Abstract
THE new list of scholarships and fellowships offered ooo by the Leeds University has just been issued. It includes some twelve entrance scholarships in arts, science, medicine, and technology, awarded on the results of the matriculation examination of the Joint. Matriculation Board, in addition to a certain number (not specified) given by the local education, authority. There are also twelve Clothworkers' free studentships in the textile department, and a “William Cooke” scholarship in mining, determined by special examination or selection. In addition to the above are a number of senior scholarships, awarded to students of special merit in the University, by the University, the Leeds City Council, and by various donors who have wished to perpetuate with their names their interest in the University. Such are the Leighton exhibitions established by the trustees of Mrs. Isabel Leighton, of Leeds, the Salt scholarship given by Sir Titus Salt, the John Rutson scholarship, and the Gilchrist studentship in modern languages. The list of post-graduate scholarships and fellowships is a very meagre one. There is one 1851 exhibition scholarship of 150l. tenable for two years, and a number of 1851 exhibition industrial bursaries of iooZ., both awarded by the 1851 Exhibition Commissioners, the first in science and the second in some branch of technology. There is, further, a research scholarship in colour chemistry founded by the Clothworkers, and a scholarship in gas engineering endowed by Sir Corbet Woodall. There are also two scholarships in the faculty of medicine. A limited number of research fellowships are also awarded by the University to distinguished graduates; there is one in connection with the fuel department in gas research founded by the Institute of Gas Engineers, and one in colour and textile chemistry.
