Abstract
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON.—We notice from the prospectus of the Engineering Department that the examination for the Gilchrist (Entrance) Engineering Scholarship of 35l. per annum is to be held on the 28th and 2gth inst. Candidates must be under nineteen, and the subjects of examination are:—(1) Mathematics; (2) any two or more of the following—(a) mechanics, (b) mechanical drawing, (c) examination on some subject connected with engineering, (d) French or German, (e) the use of tools. The examination is intended to be of such a standard as can be passed by lads from school who have begun to acquire some knowledge of mechanical pursuits. The appliances of the engineering laboratory (under Prof. Alexander B. W. Kennedy) have been very much extended during the past year, mainly through a grant from the Gilchrist Trustees, and are now very complete in the direction both of experiments in elasticity and the strength of materials, and in the economic work of engines and boilers. Laboratory work is so arranged that students go through a systematic course of experimental instruction in these and other connected subjects during the session.
