The remaining income is to be used to aid meritorious students in making geographical excursions.

THE MARY L. WHITNEY SCHOLARSHIP (H. C.); with an income of three hundred dollars. Mrs. MARY L. WHITNEY gave to her son, CHARLES L. B. WHITNEY, of the Class of 1871, five thousand three hundred dollars with the direction that, after his use thereof during his life, the same should be transferred to the President and Fellows for the purpose of founding a scholarship in the undergraduate department of Harvard College. Mr. WHITNEY bequeathed to the President and Fellows securities representing his mother's gift and the income therefrom, which he had not used, and directed that the income of his bequest, but in no event more than three hundred dollars ($300) per year, be given at some time in the Freshman year to some needy member of the Freshman Class." Securities valued at seven thousand seven hundred and ninetyeight dollars and sixty-three cents were received in 1903, and one thousand one hundred and ninety-four dollars and fifty cents in cash in 1904, on account of Mr. Whitney's bequest.

THE ROBERT C. WINTHROP SCHOLARSHIP (G. S.); with an income of two hundred dollars. Established in 1895 from a bequest of five thousand dollars made by ROBERT CHARLES WINTHROP, LL.D., of Boston, of the Class of 1828; Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives, 1847-49, Senator from Massachusetts, 1850-51; "to my Alma Mater, Harvard College, for a scholarship or scholarships" to "be assigned to the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology over which I have presided since its organization." The nomination for this scholarship is for the present in the hands of the Faculty of the Peabody Museum.

AWARD AND TENURE OF FELLOWSHIPS AND SCHOLARSHIPS.

Payment of Income.

To resident holders of fellowships and scholarships having stipends, the income thereof is payable at the Bursar's Office, three-fifths February 10, and the remainder one week before Commencement; but the income will be first applied to the settlement of any College term-bills issued and unpaid, and any balance then remaining will be paid in money.

The income of non-resident fellowships, having stipends, is payable quarterly in advance by drafts sent from the Bursar's Office September 1, December 1, March 1, and June 1. The first payment of the year is due September 1 for the quarter ending November 30; but to any holder of a fellowship who is going abroad to study, the income for six months to March 1 in the first year of his appointment will be paid at his request on or before September 1. No remittance will be made to the holder of a

fellowship for any quarter until there is received from him at the Bursar's Office the address to which he desires to have it sent, unless he requests in writing that all remittances be sent to a stated address until he gives notice of a change.

Scholarships in Harvard College.

The facts considered in making an assignment of a scholarship having a stipend are the needs of the student, and his promise as indicated by his work in College. A student who is not in need of aid cannot honorably apply for a scholarship; a scholarship cannot properly be awarded to one who, from physical, mental, or moral weakness, gives little promise of future usefulness. The special terms under which some scholarships are assigned are stated above, in the list of scholarships.

Scholarships are ordinarily assigned only on the basis of a previous year of work in College. The enjoyment of a scholarship for one year will not constitute any title to a second nomination, unless the superiority for which it was originally awarded be fully maintained; and at any time a scholarship or any portion thereof may be taken away from a student who has proved undeserving. No student who has incurred a serious College censure in the course of the year will be considered a candidate for a scholarship; nor any student who obtains leave of absence for the year in which the scholarship would be payable.

Applications of College students for scholarships should be addressed to the Dean of Harvard College, and must be deposited at the Recorder's Office, No. 4 University Hall, on or before the last Wednesday in May of each year. The candidate must write his application on a blank form, which he may obtain at the Recorder's Office.

Aid from the Beneficiary and Loan Funds must be applied for in special and separate petitions (see pp. 554 ff.).

Scholarships are awarded to Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors at the beginning of each academic year, on the basis of the work of the preceding year.

For the assignment of Price Greenleaf Aid to Freshmen and other undergraduates in their first year, see page 560.

Scholarships in the Lawrence Scientific School.

Applications from students in the Lawrence Scientific School should be filed with the Secretary of the School on or before June 1.

Scholarships are awarded at the beginning of each academic year, to meritorious students standing in need of such assistance.

Appointments in the Graduate School.

A non-resident appointment to a fellowship is awarded only to a graduate of some department of Harvard University, or to a student who has pur

sued his studies at the University for several years. But the resident appointments may be, and some of them are, bestowed on persons not previously members of the University; although a preference is given, in most cases, especially in regard to the more important appointments, to students who have already given evidence of their qualification by work done here, in the College, the Scientific School, the Graduate School, or some other department of Harvard University.

Appointments to fellowships and scholarships in the Graduate School for any academic year are made (in most cases) by the Corporation, on recommendation by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, towards the close of the preceding academic year. Applications for appointment or reappointment should be sent in as early as possible, in order to facilitate the work of examination and comparison. Applications received after the fifteenth day of March are not ordinarily considered in the regular assignment. Blanks for applications may be obtained from the Secretary of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences or at the office of the Dean of the Graduate School. A new applicant, not already a student at Harvard University, should accompany his application with testimonials from those best qualified to speak with confidence of his qualities, attainments, and promise, and by such other documents as he may think proper to send. All applications should be addressed to The Committee on Fellowships, Office of the Graduate School, No. 10 University Hall, Cambridge, Mass. A few appointments are commonly made after the beginning of the academic year, to fill vacancies arising from withdrawals and other causes. For these appointments applications received later than March 15 may be considered.

Every holder of a fellowship or scholarship, whether resident or nonresident, is expected to retain such fellowship or scholarship throughout the year for which he is appointed, unless compelled to withdraw by stringent reasons; and to engage in no other occupation, without leave of the Administrative Board of the Graduate School. A student who resigns a fellowship or scholarship in the course of a year has no claim to any part of the stipend of the fellowship or scholarship. The circumstances of his change of plans are, however, taken into consideration. The acceptance of an assistantship by any person holding, or appointed to, a fellowship or scholarship, without the express permission of the Corporation to hold both appointments, will be regarded as a resignation of the fellowship or scholarship; and the acceptance of a fellowship or scholarship by an assistant, without express permission of the Corporation to hold both appointments, will be regarded as a resignation of the assistantship.

All appointments are made for one year only. They may be renewed; but none of the higher appointments can be held for more than three years; and they are commonly restricted, in practice, to two years.

Resident Fellows and Scholars.

Every resident holder of a fellowship or scholarship is required to devote himself to studies, constituting a complete year's work, for which, as a fellow or scholar, he has obtained the approval of the Administrative Board of the Graduate School; and to do all the work belonging to such studies punctually, regularly, and with high credit. He is liable to be deprived of his appointment at any time, if he fail to satisfy this requirement.

Non-Resident Fellows.

A non-resident holder of a fellowship is entitled to receive a letter of appointment, bearing the seal of the University, stating the field of study in which he is to occupy himself, and recommending him, as a distinguished student of the University, to the esteem, confidence, and friendly consideration of all persons to whom he may present the letter.

Every non-resident holder of a fellowship in the Graduate School is expected to have always on file at the office of the Dean of that School, from the date at which he accepts his appointment, an address by which he can be promptly reached, whether in term-time or in vacation; to forward to the Dean at the beginning of each academic year a registrationpaper filled out on an official blank form, of which copies may be obtained at the office of the Graduate School; and to keep the Dean well informed at all times of what he is doing and purposing to do in fulfilment of the objects for which he is appointed. His studies must lie within the field named in his letter of appointment, and must be carried on under the general supervision of an assigned Division or Department of the Faculty. He must, as early as possible, obtain the approval of his Division or Department with reference to his plans of study and to the place or places at which he is to work; and he must adhere carefully to the arrangements thus approved, unless he receives leave to change them. He must be in frequent communication with his Division or Department, and keep it always informed of his progress in his work; addressing either its chairman or some member designated by the chairman.

A non-resident fellow is required to devote himself to his studies during the whole working period of the year; and to undertake no other occupation, except such as may be expressly approved by the Faculty. He is not at liberty to leave his place of study and return to America, or make any other serious change of plans, without permission.

He must present a report of his work at the close of each year to the Committee on Fellowships. If he applies for reappointment, he must send a preliminary report with his application for reappointment; which should be received on or before the fifteenth day of March. He is expected to present a report on retiring from his fellowship.

OTHER SOURCES OF AID.

In addition to the scholarships, which are enumerated in the preceding section (see pp. 530–550), the following funds have been established mainly for the benefit of students in Harvard College.

BENEFICIARY FUNDS.

Bequests and donations to the College have from time to time been made, the income of which is used for the aid of deserving students in narrow circumstances. The annual amount thus appropriated is about twenty-eight hundred dollars, which is usually distributed in gratuities of not more than fifty dollars each.

Applications for aid from the Beneficiary Funds, except where otherwise stated in the following list, should be addressed to the Dean of Harvard College, by the student's parent or guardian, or by the student himself, if of age. The application should state particularly the circumstances of the case, with the reasons for asking aid. No application for any academic year will be received before the first day of August in the summer preceding the beginning of that year.

The existing beneficiary funds are as follows:

REBECCA C. AMES Fund. Mrs. FREDERICK L. AMES bequeathed to the President and Fellows of Harvard College the sum of fifty thousand dollars, which was received in 1903, "the income thereof to be applied to, or expended for the maintenance and support of any of the poor and meritorious students in said College."

NATHANIEL APPLETON Fund. In 1772, NATHANIEL APPLETON, of the Class of 1712, Fellow from 1717 to 1779, gave to the College thirty pounds, lawful money, Desiring and expecting the annual Interest thereof be every year Exhibited to some well deserving Student at the College, whose Circumstances shall need such Charitable assistance, And when ever any of my Posterity shall be at the College that They shall have the benefit of this Donation if their Parents or Guardians shall desire it;" In addition to this gift, Dr. APPLETON, in 1784, bequeathed to the College "what money shall be found in my charity Bagg devoted to pious and charitable uses," amounting to twenty-six pounds, the interest thereof to be "given to some poor, but well deserving scholar, agreeable to my Directions with respect to a former Donation to said Corporation."
