Science Research Scholarships. 35. Her Majesty's Commissioners to the Exhibition of 1851 have granted the nomination to a Science Research Scholarship of the value of £150 per annum for the year 1900 under the usual conditions. This concession is made in lieu of the nomination which was offered for the year 1899, when no suitable candidate was forthcoming. Roberts' Bequest. 36. In 1888 William Roberts, Esq., of Penrith, by his will, bequeathed to the University of Sydney a sum of £1,500 for the foundation of a bursary, conditionally upon the sale of certain land, which was to be sold by his executors as soon as it would bring a fixed price per acre, which he named in his will. As there appeared to be little probability of this price being obtained by the executors, the permission of the Court of Equity was last year obtained to an arrangement being made under which the land became the property of the University. As the land is not at present productive, it has not yet been found possible to found the bursary which was contemplated by Mr. Roberts. Women's College. 37. The Hon. Sir Arthur Renwick, M.A., M.D., and the Hon. W. P. Cullen, M.A., LL.D., M.L.C., have been reappointed ex officio members of the Women's College Council for a period of two years from August, 1899. Amended By-laws. 38. Appended to this report are amended By-laws which have been adopted by the Senate during the year. In the Faculty of Arts, Chap. 14, section 14, of the By-laws has been amended in such a way as to allow greater freedom of choice in subjects of study to those students who have shown great proficiency in modern literature. The By-laws relating to the Department of Engineering have been revised and modified. Accounts. 39.
