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 scholarship will be considered as commencing from

   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.
