Harvard Scholarships. The following is a letter re ceived by the editor the past week in regards to several schol arships offered by Harvard Uni versity. My dear sir: Will you kindly help the University in making known in your locality the scholarships of which I enclose a notice. If you know any boy of exceptional ability who might with the help of a scholarship come to Harvard, will you kindly tell him of the chance to compete; and will you also kindly give the enclosed to any teacher or head of any school who may be in good. posi tiotn to know proper applicants. We have now a plan of admis sion to Harvard College which presents no technical difJiculties of admission to a good scholar who has completed a good four year high school course including languages, history, mathematics, and science, and who is prepared to take examinations in English, a foreign language. and either mathematics or science. It is much to be desired that the purpose of the Rumrill Be quest, to help southern students, should be fulfilled; and any help you can give in finding suitable beneficiaries will be gratefully re ceived. I shall be glad to cor respond with any boy whose name and, address you may send me, and to send him printed in formation about Harvard, tell ing that I do so at your request. Very truly yours, J. S. Hart. Harvard University received in 1909 from the widow of James Augustus Rumrill, A. B., 1859, of Springfield, Massachusetts, the sum of fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) to establish in his memory three scholarships to be known as the James A. Rumrill Sholarships. Two scholarships of $225 each will be o!l'ered every year to properly qualified studlents in their first year of residence as iindergraduates in Harvard Col lege who enter from secondary schools in Virginia, North Caro lina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, or Kentucky. In the assignment of these tin lergraduate scholarships consid eration is to be given, in accor (lance with the terms of gift, "to the qualities of manliness, leadership, and well1-rouinded dle velopment. as well as the schol arly attainments of the candi dlates as shown by their school re cordls or their records in the ad mission examinations. or both." The assignment of scholarships will be made every year on or about April 1, to be held during the next academic year, and ap p)lications should be in the hands of the secretary not later than March 1.
