3. No person will be admitted to compete whose age on the 1st of January next preceding the Examination shall be under 18 or above 25 years. Notice of an intention to compete must be given, in writing, to the Registrar on or before the 25th of September, 1876. 4. The Scholarship will be awarded to such qualified competitor as shall in the judgment of the Examiners have prosecuted in the Laboratory of Owens College the best original investigation in Physiology and have passed a satisfactory written examination in Physiology and such subjects connected therewith (if any) as shall be prescribed, and the result of which original investigation and examination the Examiners shall deem of sufficient positive merit to give a title to the Scholarship, but no competitor will be entitled in respect of comparative merit only. 5. The written examination will comprise questions in Animal Histology, Comparative Anatomy, and Physiology; and the Examiners will also, if they think fit, test the aptitude of the candidates for practical Physiological work, and their skill in making dissections and preparations for microscopic demonstrations. 6. The Scholarship will be held on condition that the scholar shall, during one year of his tenure, attend the Practical class in the Physiological Laboratory of Owens College; and shall, during the other year, attend the same or some other Physiological Laboratory in England or on the Continent, to be approved by the Council and Senate of the College. 7. If on any competition for a Scholarship it shall appear to the Examiners that no original investigation shall have been carried on worthy of the Scholarship, it will be within the power of the Council to award one or more Exhibitions, of less amount, to the candidates or candidate who shall have been most distinguished in the examination for the Scholarship, on such conditions as to tenure as the Council shall think expedient. PLATT SCHOLAR. 1874. John Priestley. DALTON SCHOLARSHIPS. At a meeting held at the Town Hall, Manchester, on the 26th of January, 1853, for promoting a testimonial to the memory of the late John Dalton, D.C.L., F.R.S., a committee was appointed to collect subscriptions for the erection of a monument over his grave in the Ardwick Cemetery, and of a statue in front of the Manchester Royal Infirmary, and also to found one or more Exhibitions in favour of students of Owens College. Accordingly, after accomplishing the first two of these objects, the committee transferred to the College the sum of £4,125 for the hereinafter mentioned Dalton Scholarships and Prizes. VII. DALTON CHEMICAL SCHOLARSHIPS, Two Scholarships, each of the annual value of £50, and tenable for two years. 1. An examination for one of the Scholarships will be held yearly in October. The Scholarship will be awarded for the best Original Investigation in Chemistry prosecuted at the College, together with a satisfactory written examination in Chemistry. 2. Candidates must have studied Chemistry in the Laboratory of the College during a period of not less than one entire session, and, before competing, must give proof of such an amount of mathematical knowledge as qualifies for the higher studies in Chemistry. A candidate may be excluded from competition if he shows obvious incompetence to conduct an original chemical investigation. 3. Each Scholarship will be awarded and held on condition that the successful candidate shall, during the first or second year of the Scholarship, attend the Chemical class in the Laboratory of Owens College for not less than four days per week throughout the session, and during the other year of his Scholarship shall attend the same, or some other Laboratory to be approved of by the Council and Senate; and if such successful candidate shall attend during the first year of his Scholarship elsewhere than at the Laboratory of Owens College, he shall, if required by the Principal and the Professor of Chemistry, furnish evidence satisfactory to them of his having duly employed and conducted himself during such first year, as a further condition of his retaining his Scholarship during the second year. 4. The result of the investigation will be printed in the College Calendar, with the annual examination papers. 5. If it shall happen, either by reason of no competition having taken place, or of no competitor having been deemed entitled, or otherwise, that either Scholarship shall be vacant during any year or years, the income during each year of such vacancy will be given to the first successful candidate thereafter for a Dalton Scholarship, who shall, whilst holding such Scholarship, or previously whilst a student at Owens College, have taken, with Honours in Chemistry, the degree of Bachelor of Arts, or Bachelor of Science, but so that the same individual shall not under this provision take the income of more than one year and if no person shall become entitled, as aforesaid, to such income within two years next after the year in which the same income shall have risen, then the same will be applied in promoting the objects of the Scholarship either by way of prizes, or otherwise, as the Council shall think fit.

Peter Phillips Bedson, B.Sc. VIII. DALTON MATHEMATICAL SCHOLARSHIPS. One Senior and one Junior Scholarship, of the value of £25 each, tenable for one year. 1. Examinations for both Scholarships will be held on the 5th and 6th of October, 1876. Notice of an intention to compete must be given in writing to the Registrar on or before the 25th of September. The subjects of examination for the Senior Scholarship will comprise those taught during the preceding session in the Lower Senior Mathematical class and in the classes of Natural Philosophy, and for the Junior Scholarship those of both divisions of the Junior Mathematical class, and both divisions of the Experimental Course of Natural Philosophy. Special subjects will also be prescribed from time to time in Mathematics and Natural Philosophy. *Became eligible for an additional year's income under the conditions of Rule 5. The special subjects for October, 1876, are:- Ferrer's Trilinear Coordinates; Williamson's Differential Calculus; Lloyd's Undulatory Theory of Optics (latest edit.); Stewart's Elementary Treatise on Heat (latest edit.) For the Junior Scholarship Todhunter's Theory of Equations, chaps. I.-XIII. ; Richardson's Geometrical Conic Sections; Parkinson's Mechanics. 2. Candidates for the Senior Scholarship must have been (in the session next preceding) members of the Lower or Higher Senior class of Mathematics and of one of the Mathematical classes of Natural Philosophy; and for the Junior Scholarship, of at least one of the divisions of the Junior Class of Mathematics, and one of the Experimental Courses of Natural Philosophy. 3. A Scholar may once be re-elected; but a Junior Scholar may not compete a second time for the same Scholarship. The holders of these Scholarships will be required to attend one of the courses of lectures of the Professor of Mathematics and one of the courses of lectures of the Professors of Natural Philosophy during the year of tenure. A Senior Scholar who has previously been a Junior Scholar, or a Scholar twice elected to the Senior Scholarship, will be required to attend during the second year either at the College, or at some other College, in one of the Universities of the United Kingdom, or at such foreign College as may be approved by the Senate. 4. A person elected to either of these Scholarships in October, 1876, may become entitled to a sum equal to an additional year's income of the Scholarship, by gaining within one year of his election First Class Honours in Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, either at the first or second Examination for the degrees of B.A. or B.Sc., in the University of London. DALTON SENIOR MATHEMATICAL SCHOLARS. *Re-elected in 1871 after passing a further examination. DALTON JUNIOR MATHEMATICAL SCHOLARS. 857. Thomas James Sanderson, 1867. Charles Hughes. 1868. Frederick Tertius Swanwick. 1870, Arthur Walton Fuller. IX. HEGINBOTTOM PHYSICAL SCHOLARSHIP. Annual value £20, tenable for two years. Founded in 1875, by George Heginbottom, Esq., of Ashton-under-Lyne and Birkdale. 1. The first competition will take place on the 9th and 10th October, 1876. 2. The competition will be open to all candidates, whether previously students of the College or not, whose age on the first day of January next preceding the examination shall not be more than 23 years. 3. The examination will consist of two parts, (a) a written examination in the Theory of Physics, or of such branches thereof as shall be from time to time prescribed by the College. The subjects in the ensuing examination will comprise those taught in the two years' course of the Physics class, viz.:-The Properties of Bodies, Acoustics, Heat, Light, Electricity, Magnetism, and Meteorology: (b) an examination practical and theoretical in the methods of experiment and research in Physics. In this examination candidates will be required to show their knowledge of the theory of the various instruments used in the Physical Laboratory, and, if circumstances permit, they will be asked to make experiments with these various instruments. 4. The Scholarship will be awarded to such qualified competitor as shall, in the judgment of the Examiners, have passed in the most satisfactory manner, and the result of whose examination shall be deemed by them to be of sufficient positive merit, but no competitor will be entitled in respect of comparative merit only. 5.
