Abstract

CAMBRIDGE.—The Frank Smart Studentship of Botany, founded at Gonville and Caius College by Mr. F. G. Smart, M.A., M.B., and Mrs. Smart, by the transfer of £2400 Great Eastern Railway 4 per cent. Debentures, is to be awarded for the first time at the beginning of Easter Term. Candidates are to send in their names to the Master of the College, Dr. Ferrers, on or before March 20. The electors are the governing body of the College, acting after consultation with the Professor and the Reader of Botany for the time being in the University. The Studentship is to be open to all members of the University who have taken honours in the first part of the Natural Sciences Tripos, and of not more than five years' standing; but the elected Student must become a member of Gonville and Caius. No competitive examination is to be held for awarding the Studentship. The Student is to apply himself to original investigation in botany, and must be able to show that he is doing so at any time, on penalty of forfeiting the Studentship. The Studentship is to last two years, but may under special circumstances be prolonged for one year more. The regulations of the Studentship are only to be changed, after the death of Mr. and Mrs. Smart, by consent of the Council of the Linnean Society of London. A prize of £6 in books is to be given out of the interest of the fund to the undergraduate student of Caius College who shall distinguish himself most in botany at the annual College examination.
