RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP.
GIFT OF AN ENDOWMENT. LARGE SUM AVAILABLE. In thanking the council of tlio New Zealand University fox 1 reappointing bim to be chancellor of the university under the new constitution, Professor J. Macmillan Brown announced yesterday that ho proposed to reftew his gift to the university of £2OOO for the endowment of a research scholarship in agriculture. Ho said he had offered the gift early last year, subject to a condition that a pound for pound Government subsidy should be paid upon it. It had then appeared there was no legal power for the granting of a subsidy, and the gift there fore lapsed. The University Amendment Act of last session had removed the difh culty, and ho would have much pleasure in handing over the £2OOO, with whatever interest had accrued since the date of the original offer. He hoped it would be accepted as a manifestation of the belief that the most important thing the people of New Zealand and the University Council had to look after was agriculture.
