[11] High Table, the table in the College Hall, at which ‘senior
members’, that is, the ‘dons’ and graduates of a College Body, dine.
[12] These have been rearranged and increased to the number of 93. See p.
29.
[13] The original clause gave 4/10, 2/10, 2/10, 2/10, for i, ii, iii, iv,
respectively, with a maximum number of 100, to be divided into 40, 20,
20, 20.
[14] Cf. _L. W. & T._, Stead, p. 38, note _t_.
[15] § 24 appears in these same words in the original.
[16] § 25. The meaning is practically the same as in the original; the
wording slightly changed.
[17] This rule was not at first applied in certain Colonies—South Africa,
West Australia, and Queensland; but henceforth all candidates who are not
exempted by the University Statutes will be obliged to pass Responsions
or an equivalent.
[18] Paper read before the Royal Colonial Institute, Dec., 1904.

1902.
[22] For result of discussions regarding age limits, domicile, and
general requirements, see Ch. iv.
[23] The first attempt in the United States to publish definite
information on the subject for the benefit of possible candidates was
made by the University of Mississippi, which published a ‘Bulletin’ in
October, 1903, giving the clauses of the Will and instructions which had
been issued up to that date with regard to the Scholarships.
[24] See also Ch. iv.
[25] See Ch. iv, pp. 42, 43; Ch. viii, pp. 109, 110.
[26] See Ch. vi, Pt. 2, on the Oxford System.
[27] The Scholars appointed in 1903 finished their course in 1906.
[28] A Scholar is an undergraduate who, as the result of examination, is
entitled to a grant of so much (generally £80) per annum by the College.
This amount is subtracted from his ‘battels’, not paid directly to him.
Scholarships are given for two years, renewable for a further two years,
without further examination. A Commoner is one who is not entitled to
such a grant from a College.
[29] The arrangements for appointments in the Colonies, other than South
Africa, and in the United States had not yet been completed.
[30] Quebec sent two (instead of one) by special leave.
[31] The appointments in the United States are made but two years in each
three, there being none the third year. The appointments will be made in
1907, 1908, 1910, 1911, &c.
