EXHIBITION BURSARIES.

TALENTED SCIENCE STUDENTS

By Telegraph.—Press Association,—Copyright. London, May 24. The Commissioners of the 1851 Exhibition have formulated industrial bursaries of £50 to £LSO each to enable talented science students to tide over a year or two while gaining experience, which will enable them to secure remunerative employment in engineering and chemical works. At present many are forced into the teaching profession. THE EXHIBITION SCHOLARSHIPS. His Majesty's Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1851 offer periodically a. scholarship in science of £150 for two years, with the possibility of extension to a third year. The general conditions as to eligibility for the scholarship state that candidates must have been bona-fide students of science for at least three years in an institution affiliated to the university, completed not more than 12 months before the time of nomination, and in the interim engaged solely in scientific study; they must have indicated high promise of capability for original research, and they are bound by the statutes to devote themselves to scientific work limited to those branches, the extension of which is especially important to ' national industries; every candidate (who must be an honours man of first or second-class in certain sciences) is required when seeking nomination to submit an original paper embodying the results obtained by himself in some investigation or research having a direct bearing on productive industry, physics, chemistry, natural science, or engineering. The funds are derived from the surplus at the close of the exhibition.
