VALUABLE SCHOLAR-. SHIP.
BEQUEST TO MERTON COLLEGE, OXFORD. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, June 6. Sir Hildebrand Harmsworth, formerly proprietor of the "Globe” newspaper, brother of the late Lord Northcliffe, and of Lord Rothermere, left £1,443,000. He left one-tenth of his estate to Merton College, Oxford, to create five scholarships] A noteworthy condition regarding the scholarships is that they shall be available only for British subjects who are Protestants, and whose parents and paternal grandfather and great grandfather are, or were, both Britlsh-bom subjects and Protestants. The scholarships will be of very considerable value, as after the payment of duties it would appear that a net sum of about £90,000 will be available to endow them, giving them an annual value of about £9OO each.
