Abstract
BY the will of the first Lord Leverhulme, who died in 1925, the income arising from a part of his estate is to be devoted to the provision of scholarships for “research and education”. The trustees have now resolved to devote £12,000 a year to the establishment of a scheme of research fellowships. The fellowships are primarily intended to assist experienced research workers rather than workers in an early stage of their careers. The duration of the grant will normally not exceed two years. Fellows may work either at home or abroad and no subject of inquiry is excluded from the scope of the scheme. The advisory committee is constituted as follows: Dr. H. J. W. Hetherington (chairman), Prof. A. M. Carr-Saunders, Sir William Hardy, Dr. N. V. Sidgwick, and Mr. H. T. Tizard. Dr. L. Haden Guest has been appointed secretary. Applications (from British-born candidates normally resident in the United Kingdom) and all inquiries and communications in connexion with the scheme should be addressed to the Secretary, Leverhulme Fellowship Scheme, Union House, St. Martin's-le-Grand, London, E.C.I. It will be a convenience to the committee if as many applications as possible are in the hands of the secretary by June 19.
