refrain from doing so : And whereas my own University, the University of Oxford, has such a system, and I suggest that it should try and extend its scope so as, if possible, to make its Medical School at least as good as that at the University of Edinburgh : And whereas I also desire to encourage and foster an appreciation of the advantages which I implicitly believe will result from the union of the English-speaking peoples throughout the world, and to encourage in the students from the United States of North America, who will benefit from the American scholarships to be established, for the reason above given, at the University of Oxford under this my will, an attachment to the country from which they have sprung, but without, I hope, withdrawing them or their sympathies from the land of their adoption or birth : Now, therefore, I direct my trustees as soon as may be after my death, and either simultaneously or gradually as they shall find convenient — and, if gradually, then in such order as they shall think fit—to establish for male students the scholarships hereinafter directed to be established, each of which shall be of the yearly value of £300 and be tenable at any college in the University of Oxford for three consecutive academical years. I direct my trustees to establish certain scholarships, and these scholarships I sometimes hereinafter refer to as " the colonial scholarships." The appropriation of the colonial scholarships and the numbers to be annually rilled up shall be in accordance with the following table: —

I further direct my trustees to establish additional scholarships sufficient in number for the appropriation in the next following clause hereof directed, and those scholarships I sometimes hereinafter refer to as " the American scholarships." I appropriate two of the American scholarships to each of the present States and territories of the United States of North America : Provided that if any of the said territories shall in my lifetime be admitted as a State the scholarships appropriated to such territory shall be appropriated to such State, and that my trustees may in their uncontrolled discretion withhold for such time as they shall think fit the appropriation of scholarships to any territory. I direct that of the two scholarships appropriated to a State or territory not more than one shall be filled up in any year, so that at no time shall more than two scholarships be held for the same State or territory. The scholarships shall be paid only out of income, and in the event at any time of income being insufficient for payment in full of all the scholarships for the time being payable, I direct that (without prejudice to the vested interests of holders for the time being of scholarships) the following order of priority shall regulate the payment of the scholarships : — (i.) First, the scholarships of students of or from Rhodesia shall be paid. (ii.) Secondly, the scholarships of students from the said South African, Stellenbosch, Rondebosch, and St. Andrew's Schools shall be paid, (iii.) Thirdly, the remainder of the colonial scholarships shall be paid, and if there shall not be sufficient income for the purpose such scholarships shall abate proportionately ; and (iv.) Fourthly, the American scholarships shall be paid, and if there shall not be sufficient income for the purpose such scholarships shall abate proportionately. My desire being that the students who shall be elected to the scholarships shall not be merely bookworms, I direct that in the election of a student to a scholarship regard shall be had to (i.) his literary and scholastic attainments ; (ii.) his fondness of and success in manly outdoor sports, such as cricket, football, and the like; (iii.) his qualities of manhood, truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for the protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness, and fellowship ; and (iv.)
