WHITWORTH EXHIBITIONS. In 1875 Sir Joseph Whitworth founded, for an experimental period of four years, a number of Exhibitions in Owens College, in favour of young men who, having a certain measure of mechanical aptitude and being already possessed of some degree of dexterity in the use of tools, were not too old to receive that training in the principles of pure and applied science which is necessary for success in the competition for the Whitworth Scholarships. Four of these Exhibitions will be offered for competition in June, 1877. 1. On or before the 31st May, each candidate will be required to send notice in writing to the Registrar of his intention to compete, and at the same time to submit a certificate or other evidence that his age will not be less than 16 nor more than 18 years on the 1st October, 1877, and also a satisfactory testimonial of character. 2. A preliminary Examination will be held as follows: Tuesday, 5th June, 10 to 12, English Dictation and Composition; 2 to 4, Mechanical Drawing; Wednesday, 6th June, 10 to 12, Arithmetic, as far as Decimals (inclusive). 3. Having passed the Preliminary Examination, candidates will be required to undergo a practical Examination in the use of tools; this Examination to include at least two of the following handicrafts :-Filing and fitting, turning, smiths' work, pattern making, and moulding. Due notice will be given of the time and place of this Examination. 4. The selection of candidates will be determined by the marks gained in both Examinations; but no candidate will be appointed who fails entirely in either branch. 5. The Exhibitions will be tenable for two years; but the right to enjoy an Exhibition for the second year will be contingent on the Exhibitioner's success in the College Examinations at the end of the first year. 6. Exhibitioners will be entitled to attend without payment of fee the following classes in their first year: Pure Mathematics, Mechanics, Geometrical and Mechanical Drawing, and Freehand Drawing; and in their second year classes on the above subjects, or on such other subjects as will qualify them for the Whitworth Scholarships competition, provided that the Exhibitioner is possessed of the necessary preliminary knowledge. NOTE.-The following Entrance Exhibitions are not founded on any permanent endowment; the offer of them in future years is, therefore, discretionary. |
