Abstract
BELFAST.—At the recent meeting of the Senate of the Queen's University, it was announced that the bequest of 57,000l. from the late Henry Musgrave, a well-known benefactor of the University, had been paid. Of this sum 30,000l. is left to the absolute control of the Senate, to be used and applied for such purpose as the Senate shall consider necessary. Mr. Musgrave directed that 7000l. be invested, and the income applied towards paying an additional reader in connexion with the chair of physics. The sum of 20,000l. is to be invested, and the income applied in perpetuity for the promotion and encouragement of research in pathology, physiology, physics, biology, and chemistry. The income is to be applied in founding and maintaining studentships for promoting research in these subjects. Each studentship shall be held for one year, but if the electors are satisfied with the work of the student he may be elected for a second year but no longer. If at any time there shall not be any suitable candidate, or if in any year there be a surplus, such surplus shall form a fund out of which special grants may be made to graduates of the University engaged in research. The Senate has agreed that the annual value of the studentships shall be 200l., and has appointed Prof. Ash worth, Prof. Lorraine Smith, Sir Joseph Larmor, and Prof. Collie, together with Prof. Symmers, Prof. Milroy, Prof. Morton, Prof. Small, and Prof. Stewart, to be the electors of the above studentships.
