Bursaries at the Royal College of Science

Abstract

SCIENCE scholars selected from the whole of Great Britain for their ability and promise, maintaining themselves on 17s. 9d. per week, were this year saved from much privation by secret gifts of small bursaries—see the subjoined audited account. I have no right to ask for help from the generous men who helped me last year, but I have all the sturdiness of a chartered beggar—I ask in a good cause.
