MILLER AGRICULTURAL SCHOLARSHIPS.
With a portion of the means supplied by the donation of Mr. Miller,
there has been established in connection with the Agricultural Department,
one scholarship of four hundred dollars per annum, and tenable
for one year, to be competed for at a special examination upon the whole
of the subjects taught in the department, to be held near the close of
each session. Candidates for this examination to be already graduates
in the studies of the department. Scholars thus elected will be expected
to continue their studies during the term of their scholarships, and to
render such assistance in the minor duties of instruction, in the performance
of analyses and researches, as may be required of them. It is
hoped that the opportunity may be afforded the successful competitors
of becoming thoroughly competent in their chosen direction of study,
worthy of public confidence in regard to all the purposes which their
special knowledge may subserve, and that even during their tenure of
the scholarship in question, they may be able to render useful service in
connection with agricultural experiments, the examination and analysis
of agricultural and other materials of general interest. They will be subject
to no charge for tuition in the schools of the department, but will be
expected to defray the expense of material they may consume in the
chemical laboratory.
