"The abovenamed Trust has been created under
the will of the late Dr. Gilchrist, 'for the benefit,
advancement, and propagation of education and
learning in every part of the world, as far as circum-
stances would permit;' and the Trustees having
first made provision, according to the accompanying
scheme, for the establishment of Scholarships to
promote the education of Natives of India (with
which country Dr. Gilchrist had been particularly
associated) in this country, are now prepared to offer
a like advantage to the Colonies of Australia and
Canada."

"With this view the Trustees propose to establish
a Scholarship of the value of £100 per annum, the
appointment to which should be made yearly, in
connection with each of the Colonies just named, the
Scholarship to be tenable for three years. It is their
intention that the Scholar shall follow a curriculum
of study in one of the four Faculties of the University
of London, namely, Arts, Science, Law, or Medicine;
but they will probably leave him free to reside and
study either in London or Edinburgh."

Conditions for Scholarships instituted by the Gilchrist
Educational Trust for the benefit of Youths resident
in Australia.

A Scholarship of the value of £100 per annum, and
tenable for three years, will be annually awarded to
a Candidate resident in Australia, who shall have
graduated in Arts either in the University of Sydney,
or in the University of Melbourne, and who shall be
desirous of pursuing a further course of Academical
Study in Great Britain, under the following con-
ditions:-

1. Every Candidate shall either be a Native of
   Australia, or shall have resided there for the five
   years immediately preceding his graduation.

2. Every Candidate must furnish proof satisfactory
   to the authorities of the University in which he has
   graduated, that his age does not exceed twenty-two
   years.

3. Every Candidate must furnish proof satisfactory
   to the authorities of the University in which he has
   graduated, that he is qualified, in regard to personal
   character, to receive the Scholarship.

4. The award of the Scholarship shall be made
   alternately by the authorities of the Universities of
   Sydney and Melbourne, at the conclusion of their
   respective examinations for the B.A. Degree, the
   first turn being given to the University of Sydney.
   If several eligible Candidates present themselves on
   the same occasion, the selection shall rest with the
   authorities of the University having the turn of
   nomination; but if in any year an eligible Candidate
   should not present himself among the Graduates of
   that one of the two Universities to the turn of which
   the nomination falls, whilst the other of the two
   Universities can furnish an eligible Candidate, such
   Candidate may be nominated to the Scholarship by
   the authorities of his own University, without preju-
   dice to the exercise of right of nomination by the
   same University in the succeeding year.

5. Each Scholar shall be allowed an option as to
   place of study between the University of Edinburgh,
   and University College, London; but he shall be
   expected to pursue his studies with a view to Gradua-
   tion in one of the four Faculties of the University of
   London.

6. The successful Candidate will be expected to
   arrive in London, and to present himself to the
   Secretary of the Gilchrist Trust, not later than the
   first week in the October following his appointment.

7. The Scholarship shall be considered as commenc-
   ing from the 1st of July following the nomination,
   and shall be paid in quarterly instalments on the
   first days of October, January, April, and July.

8. Each Scholar shall attend in every Session at
   least three courses of lectures at the Institution in
   which he studies (unless specially excused by the
   Trustees from doing so during the first year), and
   shall transmit to the Secretary of the Gilchrist Trust,
   at the conclusion of each Session, a Certificate from
   each of the Professors whose lectures he has
   attended, stating that his diligence and conduct have
   been satisfactory. Should he not be able to produce
   such a Certificate, or should he be proved guilty of
   discreditable conduct elsewhere, he shall be con-
   sidered to have forfeited all claim to the remaining
   instalments of his Scholarship.

9. Each Scholar will be expected to present him-
   self at the first examination in one of the four
   Faculties of the University of London---Arts, Science,
   Law, or Medicine-before the termination of the
   second (Academical) year* from the commencement
   of his Scholarship, unless excused from doing so by
   the Trustees; and if he do not so present himself
   (unless by permission of the Trustees), or if he fail
   to pass, he shall be considered as forfeiting his claim
   to the remaining instalments of his Scholarship.
   After having passed the first examination, he will be
   expected to pursue his studies with a view to pre-
   senting himself at the second examination within two
   (Academical) years.

10. The foregoing scheme shall be subject to revi-
    sion from time to time, the Trustees reserving to
    themselves the power of altering the conditions of the
    Scholarships, or of altogether withdrawing them, if
    they deem it expedient to do either. But no change
    will be made in such a manner as to affect the
    interests of Candidates already appointed to Scholar-
    ships, or in any case without twelve months' notice:

• Thus a Candidate whose Scholarship commences on the 1st
  of July, 1868, would be considered as having fulfilled this
  condition if he pass the first LL. B. examination in January,
  1870, or the first B.A., the first B.Sc., or the Preliminary
  Scientific M.B. Examination in July, 1870.
