One Scholarship was founded in 1837: and in 1841, a further sum having been given by the Subscribers to a Monument in memory of the late Bishop, instead of this Scholarship, two Scholarships were founded of the annual value of £50. each. The first election on this foundation took place in June, 1842. REGULATIONS FOR THE VAN MILDERT SCHOLARSHIPS. 1. Unless Examiners shall be specially appointed for the purpose by the Warden and Senate, the Electors for the Van Mildert Scholarships shall be the Examiners for the degree of B.A. 2. The Candidates for the Van Mildert Scholarships shall be such Undergraduates admitted to the Examination for the degree of B.A. as are desirous of becoming Students in Theology, and are recommended as fit by the Warden and their Tutor. 3. Unless there be a special examination for the purpose, the examination for the degree of B.A. shall be also the examination for the Van Mildert Scholarships. 4. The Examiners shall elect that candidate who, from the ta lents and acquirements shown in the examination, shall appear to them to be the best qualified to pursue the study of divinity with success. 5. The election shall be certified to the Warden, in writing, attested by the signature of the Examiners. 6. Each Van Mildert Scholarship shall be tenable for two years, provided the Scholar shall during that time keep his terms and pursue his studies in the University of Durham as a Student in Theology. 7. The Warden shall have authority to dispense with the keeping of one term during the two years. 8. If a Van Mildert Scholar shall, without such dispensation, fail to keep any one term, as a Student in Theology, or if under any circumstances he shall fail to keep any two terms as a Student in Theology, during the two years, the Warden shall declare the Scholarship vacant, and direct the Examiners to proceed to a new election. 9. In such cases the Scholar shall receive only such portion of the proceeds of the Scholarship as may be due for the terms which he has kept. The residue which may be occasioned, either by this or any other circumstances, shall be either laid out in prizes for those who distinguish themselves at the final examination in Theology, or applied in an such other manner as the Warden and Senate may think most conducive to the interests of the University. 10.

DEED OF FOUNDATION. In gratitude to Divine Providence, I am desirous of assisting some of my compatriots, natives of the North Riding in the County of York, by founding for their benefit in the University of Durham a Scholarship of £21. per annum, tenable in ordinary cases for three years. "The qualifications of the Candidates shall be the following "1. That they be natives of the North Riding of Yorkshire. "2. That they be the sons of parents who are members of the Church of England. "3. That they shall have received their education at Richmond Grammar School. 4. That they shall not exceed their twentieth year on the day of their first election. “5. That they be in need of such assistance. 'But if no candidate appear from Richmond School, or if such candidate be declared by the examiners to be incompetent, a native of the North Riding of Yorkshire educated elsewhere is to be elected scholar. And if more candidates than one should appear, either from Richmond School, or if those who have had their school education elsewhere, I desire that the best scholar be elected. "I consider it most safe to elect the scholar only for one year; and, if his conduct be satisfactory, to repeat the election at the commencement of the second year and third year; that if a youth elected scholar should, in the judgment of the Senate of the University, have forfeited his claim to reelection by indolence or immorality, he may be removed : and I hereby authorise and request the University to elect another scholar, in the room of him who has been found unworthy; and the scholar so elected, if he approve himself to the University by his diligence as a student and his exemplary life as a Christian, shall enjoy the Scholarship for three years, having been three times elected, and at the end of the third year shall vacate it, to make room for another possessing all the requisite qualifications enumerated above.' REGULATIONS FOR THE ELLERTON SCHOLARSHIP. 1. The Ellerton Scholar shall, in ordinary cases, be elected by the Warden and Senate in the Michaelmas Term of each year. 2. Each candidate, before he is admitted to examination, must submit to the Warden testimonials of character, and certificates to shew that he possesses the qualifications specified in the Deed of Foundation. |
