Abstract
IT was formerly a matter of some concern in Great Britain that scientific research, both pure and applied, had not that liberal endowment which it enjoys in the United States, and this is still very often the subject of rather invidious comparison; although, from the point of view of Government grants, scientific research has recently suffered perhaps even more drastic cuts in the United States than in Great Britain. An investigation of the real position in regard to post-graduate scholarships recently undertaken by the Society of Chemical Industry the results of which have just been published in the Society's Journal show, however, that so far as scholarships are concerned, the youth of Great Britain is fairly well served. Whatever may be thought of the Government's action in withdrawing a few thousands from the vitally important endowment of research, one may still find some hope and stimulation in the long and growing list of private endowments.
