Abstract

CAMBRIDGE.—A combined examination of non-resident candidates for open scholarships, exhibitions, &c, will be held at Trinity College, Clare College and Trinity Hall, beginning on November 1. At Trinity College there will be offered for competition about ten scholarships, about ten exhibitions, and about three sizarships. Scholarships include (1) major scholarships, of the value of 80l. a year, (2) minor scholarships, of the value of 75l. a year or of 50l. a year. Exhibitions are generally of the value of 40l. a year. Scholarships and exhibitions are tenable for two years from the commencement of residence. Sizarships are of the value of about 100l. a year (namely, a payment in money of 80l., arid a remission of College fees and dues to the extent of about 20l.). They are tenable until the expiration of nine terms from the commencement of residence, unless the holder is previously elected to a major scholarship. Candidates for sizarships must send satisfactory evidence to one of the Tutors that they are in need of the assistance given to sizars. The subjects of examination will be classics, mathematics, natural sciences, moral sciences, and history. A candidate may take any one of these subjects, or any combination of subjects so far as the arrangement of the papers in the examination permits. At Clare College about eight scholarships of values varying from 80l. to 40l., and at Trinity Hall six scholarships at least, ranging between the same values, will be awarded. These scholarships are offered for proficiency in classics, or mathematics, or natural science, or history. Deserving candidates who do not attain the standard for these Scholarships may be awarded exhibitions of the annual value of 30l. Forms of application for admission to the examination may be obtained from any of the Tutors of the Colleges named.
