Abstract
FORTY-NINE scholarships have been awarded for 1938–39 by the National Research Council of Canada. Graduates from fourteen Canadian universities have been given awards which will enable them to pursue post-graduate studies at the following universities: Dalhousie, Laval, McGill, Montreal, Queen's, Saskatchewan and Toronto. Four special scholarships will be tenable in the National Research Laboratories at Ottawa, where the holders, who have already gained post-graduate experience in research, will be given an opportunity to put their talents to work on some practical problem such as they may expect to meet when they enter commercial or industrial work. For work in the universities, the scholarships granted include one fellowship, seventeen studentships and twenty-seven bursaries. Twenty-eight of the awards are to be used in financing graduate students in chemistry, including fourteen in physical chemistry, six in cellulose research, four in organic chemistry, two in general chemistry, one in inorganic chemistry and one on a practical chemical problem in the National Research Laboratories. Twelve candidates will work in physics, including three in the National Research Laboratories. Other divisions of science represented in the awards are: biochemistry, 2 ; biology, 2 ; botany, 1 ; entomology, 1 ; genetics, 2; and mathematics, 1.
