Abstract
WITH the view of encouraging postgraduate train ing in scientific research, chiefly in the graduate schools of Canadian universities, the National Research Council has awarded forty-seven scholar ships for the year 1937-38. These include three fellowships of 700 dollars each, twelve studentships of 600 dollars and twenty-seven bursaries of 500 dollars, all of which will be held in departments of science at the universities. Five other scholarships, tenable in the National Research Laboratories at Ottawa, will enable the holders, all of whom have already done postgraduate research at the univer sities, to gain experience in the field of industrial research before engaging in commercial work. The awards show that chemistry in its various branches heads the list with twenty-five, physics comes next with twelve, followed by four in biology, two in genetics, and one each in botany, geology, mathe matics and mechanical engineering. Applications were received from graduates of eighteen Canadian universities, and awards have been made which will enable the holders to work in the Universities of Dalhousie, Laval, McGill, Montreal, Queen's, Toronto, Western Ontario and Saskatchewan.
