Abstract
As the result of the appeal issued in 1934, the sum of £1,010 15s. 9c £. has been contributed for the purpose of a memorial to Thomas Eric Peet, who was, at the date of his untimely death, professor of Egyptology in the University of Oxford. This sum, it is announced by Prof. J. P. Droop in a letter in The Times of February 7, has been paid over to the Council of the University of Liverpool for investment. The income from the endowment thus created will be used for the quinquennial award, on the recommendation of the executive committee of the University of Liverpool Institute of Archaeology, of a fellowship, tenable for one year by a graduate of a British university, who proposes a course of study either in “The Ancient Egyptian Language and Egyptology” or “The Prehistory of the Mediterranean Lands and/or the Near East”. Unless the dispensation of the executive committee is obtained, four months of the year of tenure must be spent out of England. Awards will be made in the month of June of the year of award, and one half of the value of the fellowship (£150) will be paid on award, the balance being payable on receipt of a satisfactory report on his work from the fellow at the close of the first six months. It is within the competence of the Council to vary the terms of the award, so long as the provisions as to the qualifications of candidates and the subjects of study are observed. The first award will be made in 1941.
