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, Lon-
don, with a view to graduation in one of the Faculties of the
University of London.

If any candidates offer themselves, the January examina-
tion 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 fol-
lowing subjects, 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 per-
sonal 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.
