THE BURNS CLUB SCHOLARSHIP.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Many of your readers will be pleased to read in to-night’s issue that the Committee of the Bums Club have resolved to found a scholarship. This will be specially pleasing to the few who assembled many years ago to institute the Dunedin Burns Club. They were imbued with the bard’s broad sympathies, and they resolved that the membership should be open to all admirers of Burns. They were also im- . pressed with the idea that their, aims should be high—something higher than meeting once a month for amusement. Burns himself would endorse what Domsie says in ‘ Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush ’; “ Anither scholar in the land; and a’m thinkin’ wi’ auld John Knox, that ilka scholar is something added to the riches o' the commonwealth.”—l am, etc., Member or the Chirr. July 14.
