SCHOLARSHIPS AND OTHER PECUNIARY AID.

With the single exception named in connection with the Williams Fund that the recipient of that fund must be a Protestant, the pecuniary aid furnished by the School is given without regard to denominational differ

ences.

No person may receive aid unless he can show a record of at least seventy-five per cent., or its equivalent, on his previous examinations, and by his character, and in other respects, gives promise of usefulness, and unless he can give evidence that he needs such help.

A student receiving beneficiary aid is required to do a full year's work continued through the final examinations. If at any time he fails to do full work, or if the character of his work falls below the required standard, the aid which he would otherwise receive may be withdrawn for the remainder of the year. If he leaves the School before the close of the year he will, unless excused by the Faculty, be called upon to refund the money for that year which he has already received.

Applications for the Williams Fellowships, for scholarships, or for other pecuniary aid must be made upon blanks to be obtained from the Secretary of the Faculty; they must be accompanied by testimonials, and applicants for the Williams Fellowships must also submit specimens of their work. Applications should be sent to the Secretary of the Faculty, and in order to be considered at the first assignment should be received by him not later than March 31. Applications received after that date for scholarships not previously assigned will be considered and acted on as promptly as possible.

The income of the funds named below is assigned for beneficiary purposes upon recommendation of the Faculty.

1. The following funds held by the President and Fellows of Harvard College :

The CHAPMAN SCHOLARSHIP, founded by the Rev. George Chapman, with an income of one hundred dollars.

The CARY SCHOLARSHIPS, founded by Thomas Cary, Esq., two with an income of one hundred and twenty dollars each.

The SCHOLARSHIPS ON THE JACKSON FOUNDATION, founded by Miss Sarah Jackson, four with an income of one hundred and sixty dollars each. The CLAPP SCHOLARSHIP, founded by Joshua Clapp, Esq., with an income of one hundred and eighty dollars.

The KENDALL SCHOLARSHIP, founded on the donation of Miss Nancy Kendall, with an income of one hundred and forty dollars.

The JONAS H. KENDALL SCHOLARSHIP, founded by Jonas H. Kendall, Esq., with an income of two hundred dollars.

The BEQUEST OF ABNER W. BUTTRICK, Esq., of Lowell, the income of which is awarded by the President and Fellows "to such deserving young men as they shall select, to aid them in preparing and educating themselves for the ministry of the Gospel." The annual income of this bequest is five hundred and seventy-five dollars.

The WILLIAM POMROY FUND, of which the income amounts to about forty-five dollars.

2. The Fund held by The Trustees of the CHARITY OF EDWARD HOPKINS. From a portion of the income of this fund, scholarships are awarded to six students, needing aid, who must have received the degree of A.B., who have given evidence of diligent and successful study, and who receive no money or remuneration for services from the University.

3. The WILLIAMS FUND held by The Society for Promoting Theological Education. According to the terms of the bequest, the income is to be given to "such indigent students of Theology, resident in Cambridge, as shall be preparing themselves for the ministry, and shall be deemed most meritorious and worthy of assistance"; and "no student shall be debarred of this charity by reason of not having had a degree at a college, or being educated at any other college, or entertaining any peculiar modes of faith, it being always understood that he must be a Protestant." The income of the Williams Fund amounts to about four thousand dollars.

From the income of the above funds fellowships and scholarships are awarded as follows::

1. WILLIAMS FELLOWSHIPS. At present two resident Williams Fellowships of four hundred dollars each are offered to graduates of this or any other Theological School who purpose to enter the Christian ministry. These Fellowships are intended to encourage advanced theological work of a high order.

2. Six HOPKINS SCHOLARSHIPS. The value of these scholarships depends on the income of the fund in each year, but may be estimated at about two hundred and seventy-five dollars.

3. Scholarships made by combining the income of the several funds held by the President and Fellows and of the Williams Fund in awards dependent upon grades attained. The amounts given are usually two hundred, two hundred and fifty, or three hundred dollars. In the last seven years there have been annually so granted on an average ten scholarships of two hundred dollars or less, and five scholarships of two hundred and fifty dollars or more.

FEES AND EXPENSES.

The annual fee for tuition is one hundred and fifty dollars, but for Resident Graduates and Special Students taking less than three and a half courses the fee will vary according to the number of courses taken; the charge for each full course being $45, and for each half-course $25, the minimum charge to any student being $30, and the maximum $150. A Resident Graduate or Special Student taking less than three and a half courses must pay the entire fee for such courses as he takes, without deduction for absence or withdrawal. Other students who are members of the Divinity School for but part of a year are allowed the following deductions from the full fee of one hundred and fifty dollars. A student who joins between December 31 and the end of the first half-year is allowed a deduction of forty dollars; one who enters between the beginning of the second half-year and April 1 is allowed a deduction of sixty dollars; and one who enters after March 31 is allowed a deduction of one hundred dollars. A student who leaves before January 1 is allowed a deduction of one hundred dollars, if he gives written notice of his withdrawal before that date to the Secretary of the Faculty; one who leaves between December 31 and the end of the first half-year is allowed a deduction of sixty dollars, if he gives written notice to the Secretary before the end of the first half-year; and one who leaves between the end of the first half-year and April 1 is allowed a deduction of forty dollars, if he gives written notice to the Secretary before April 1; but if he fails to give written notice of withdrawal no deduction is allowed.

The first half-year ends on the Saturday before the second Sunday in February. The first third of the academic year begins with the academic year, and ends December 31. The second third begins January 1 and ends March 31. The last third begins April 1 and

ends at Commencement.

A fee of four dollars a year is charged to every student registered in the Divinity School, for the maintenance of the Stillman Infirmary; and, on the order of a physician, every student will be given, in case of sickness, in return for this fee, a bed in a ward, board, and ordinary nursing, for a period not exceeding two weeks in any one academic year.

An examination fee of thirty dollars is charged Divinity students taking the degree of Ph.D. unless they have paid the full tuition fee of one hundred and fifty dollars for at least one year, in the Divinity School or other graduate department of the University. A graduation fee of twenty dollars is charged all students taking the degree of A.M. or Ph.D.

Every student must file a bond with the Bursar in the sum of two hundred dollars, signed by two bondsmen, one of whom must be a citizen

of the United States, or by a surety company duly qualified to do business in Massachusetts, as security for the payment of his dues to the University; or he may deposit with the Bursar two hundred dollars in United States bonds, or fifty dollars in money, for the same purpose. But any student who lives in a College room, or boards at Memorial Hall or at Randall Hall, must file a bond in the sum of four hundred dollars; or deposit four hundred dollars in United States Bonds; or deposit fifty dollars as security, and in addition to his tuition fee, pay in advance the full year's rent of any room that may be assigned to him, and make a deposit with the Bursar as security for the payment of his board at the rate of five dollars a week. Money deposited as security is returnable after the issue of the second term-bill, one week before Commencement. Interest is not allowed on deposits.

No officer or student of the University will be accepted as a bondsman.

Each student, except such Resident Graduates and Special Students as are taking less than three and one-half courses, is required to pay ninety dollars of the tuition fee to the Bursar punctually at the beginning of the academic year without the presentation of a bill. The second instalment, of sixty dollars, is entered upon the first term-bill, issued January 20, and is to be paid on or before February 10.

In like manner Resident Graduates and Special Students who are liable for less than the full tuition fee of one hundred and fifty dollars are required to pay at the beginning of the academic year ninety dollars, or the whole fee if it does not exceed ninety dollars; and the remainder of the fee, if any, on or before February 10.

The first term-bill is issued January 20, and must be paid on or before February 10. This bill includes, in addition to the second instalment of the tuition fee, such charges as the following: Two-thirds of the year's charges for the use of a College room; fees for laboratory courses which. begin in the first half-year; Stillman Infirmary fee; locker fees; such incidental charges as can then be determined; charges for gas, and for board at the Harvard Dining Association and the Randall Hall Association made up to as late a date as practicable.

The second term-bill is issued one week before Commencement, and contains the charges not included in the first bill. The second termbill must be paid by all candidates for degrees at least one day before Commencement; and, by all other students, on or before July 25.

Students who are candidates for degrees in the middle of the academic year must pay all dues to the University at least one day before the day upon which the degrees are to be voted.

When a student's connection with the University is severed, all charges against him must be paid at once.

Each student whose dues to the University remain unpaid on the day fixed for their payment is required at once to cease attending lectures or recitations, using the libraries, laboratories, gymnasium, athletic grounds or buildings, boarding at the Harvard Dining Association or at the Randall Hall Association, and making use of any other privileges as a student, until his financial relations with the University have been arranged satisfactorily to the Bursar. Failure to comply with this rule is deemed cause for final separation of the student from the University. The average expenses of a student for a year are:

Students can board at cost by joining the Association which uses the dining-room of Memorial Hall. The cost of board here is expected not to exceed $4.25 a week. The membership is limited, and application should be made before September 15, to the Auditor of the Dining Association, Memorial Hall.

At Randall Hall meals à la carte are served at cost, making it possible to get good board for from $2.50 to $3.00 a week or less. The annual fees of the Association are low. Application should be made early to the Secretary of the Randall Hall Association.

Divinity Hall, the dormitory of the Divinity School, contains 41 rooms. These rooms are primarily reserved for students of the Divinity School, and will not be assigned to other students until the Thursday on which the academic year begins. On that day a list of the rooms not previously engaged will be posted at the Bursar's office, and applications may be made to him. The Dean of the Divinity School, however, reserves the right of discriminating between applications as the interests of the School may in his judgment dictate.

Some of the rooms in Divinity Hall are furnished, the furniture consisting of: iron bedstead, with spring, mattress, and pillow; washstand; chiffonnier; study table; chairs; book shelves; rug. The price includes the use of the furniture.
