The Oxford Summer Meeting Scholarship.

In connection with university extension it is of interest to know that a scholarship amounting to $150 has been established by those Americans who attend the summer meetings at Oxford, England, in 1892, together with some other friends of the work in this country. The scholarship will be awarded under the following conditions to enable some American student to attend the summer meeting of 1894.

Each candidate must hold on April 1, 1894, two university extension certificates, granted by some recognized body, both obtained on subjects lying within the general field of either economics and history, or literature. Any student thus qualified may enter the competition. The examination will consist of an essay on one of the subjects in the following groups:

GROUP A.- HISTORY AND ECONOMICS.

(1). Trace the influence of Puritanism on national character.

(2). Compare the treatment of American colonies by France and England respectively.

(3). Bimetallism.

GROUP B.- LITERATURE.

(1). In what way did the Renaissance favor the development of dramatic literature?

(2). Discuss the differences between Tennyson's treatment of the story of Arthur and that of earlier writers on the same subject.

Essays must be sent to the Secretary of the American Society, Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, Pa. A committee has been appointed to judge the essays, and the best five will be sent to the authorities at Oxford for final decision.
