EMPIRE SCHOLARSHIPS
LONDON, September 5. The sum of £10,000 sterling has been given by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sims. of Christchurch, for Empire scholarships available at Cambridge University to graduates from New Zealand. [Australia, Canada, and South Africa. jThey will be known as the Sims Empire Scholarships, and will be for one graduate from each Dominion for two years, selections being made at that interval. The first scholarships will not be available until 1950. They will enable graduates to do research work in any subject desired. Mr. Sims said: "I want graduates to come to England, which is the pivot of the Empire, to broaden their views generally. The scholarships will not be awarded only for scholastic ability. but for all-round good character and leadership. "Local committees will make the selection. If one superman is discovered every ten years then the scholarships will be worth-while."
