The Gilchrist Scholarship.

Education Department,
Wellington, 6th April, 1886.

A SCHOLARSHIP of the value of £100 per annum, and tenable for three years, is biennially awarded to the highest among those candidates at the London University January Matriculation Examination held in New Zealand, who pass either in the Honours or in the First Division, are not less than sixteen nor more than twenty-two years of age, and are desirous of prosecuting their studies either at the University of Edinburgh, or at the University College, London, with a view to graduation in one of the Faculties of the University of London.

If any candidates offer themselves, the January examination for New Zealand will be held some time in the month of January, 1887, or as soon after as the examination papers arrive in the colony, and at such place or places as may be hereafter fixed, having regard to the candidates’ places of abode.

Candidates will not be approved by the Examiners unless they have shown a competent knowledge in each of the following subject, according to the details specified under the several heads:—

1. Latin:
2. Any two of the following languages: (a) Greek, (b) French, and (c) German:
3. The English language, English history, and modern geography:
4. Mathematics:
5. Natural philosophy
6. Chemistry.

Particulars of the foregoing subjects of examination will be found in the Calendar of the University of London, under the head of “Regulations—Matriculation.” The special Latin and Greek subjects for January, 1887, are Cicero, De Senectute and Pro Lege Manilia; and Homer, Iliad, Book XVI.

The scholarship will be considered as commencing from the 1st July, 1887, but the first quarterly instalment will be paid to the successful candidate in the first week of October, 1887, at which time he will be expected to present himself to the Secretary of the Gilchrist Trust in London. Subsequent payments will depend on attendance at three courses of lectures in every session, and on good conduct; and the scholar must present himself for the first examination in one of the Faculties of the University of London before the end of the second year of the currency of his scholarship.

Every candidate will be required to give satisfactory evidence that he is between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two years, and either that he is a native of New Zealand, or that he has resided in New Zealand for the last five years.

Notice of entry, with satisfactory testimonials as to personal character, and the London matriculation fee of £2, must be sent to the Secretary for Education, Wellington, so as to reach his office not later than the 1st January, 1887.

By order.
Wm. Jas. HABENS,
Secretary for Education.
