University Scholarships.

CRAVEN'S SCHOLARS.

John, Lord Craven, founded two Classical Scholarships of £25. per annum each, arising from estates vested in the hands of six trustees. The Cambridge trustees are, the Bishop of Peterborough, the Bishop of Bath and Wells, and the Master of Trinity college. Electors, the Vice-Chancellor, the five Regius Professors, and the Public Orator. Whenever a vacancy occurs, an undergraduate may offer himself as a candidate, by signifying his intention in a Latin letter addressed to the above electors, within the time limited by the Programma which declares the vacancy. If any one of the name or kindred of the founder should be in indignant circumstances, and a scholar of this University, he, (by the will) is to be preferred. This annuity cannot be enjoyed after fourteen years standing in the University, nor by any one who may attain to preferment of double its value. The possessors are not allowed to be absent from the University above three months in the year, without the express permission of the Vice-Chancellor, or the major part of the electors then resident in the University.

These rules have been modified in part by the regulations enacted in 1817; which will be found at the end of this list of University Scholarships.

By a late decree of the Court of Chancery, the income of the scholars has been augmented to £50. per annum each, and three additional Scholarships founded, under the same regulations as the preceding, except that they cannot be held for more than seven years.
