last year.
7. This year there were 11 Government scholarships vacant on 1st
January, viz., 9 for youths from the Presidency proper and 2 for youths from
Sind. These vacancies were caused by 6 students having passed, 1 student not
having appeared for and 4 students having failed to pass the Annual Examina-
tion. The Principal awarded 9 scholarships to applicants and the Commissioner
in Sind awarded 1 scholarship and sent 3 other candidates, but they failed
to pass the physical examination. The C. P. Government sent 2 new scholars
and continued scholarships to 3 already in the College. The Government
of Ceylon sent a fresh scholar and continued the scholarship of the one already
in the College. The following States continued to maintain scholars;
Gwalior 1, Indore 1, Junagad 1, Jassalmer 1, Idar 1, Jamkhandi 1, Rewa 1,
the Nizam's Government 4. The following States sent new scholars this
year:—Indore 2, Rewa 1, Bhavnagar 1, Porbandar 1, Mysore 1, the Nizam's
Government 6. Besides these the Lingayat Education Association continued
scholarships to 3 students and granted 2 new scholarships for the year. There
were thus 60 students in receipt of some assistance from scholarships and 59
without such assistance.

full throughout the year and accommodation therein is much sought after. All
arrangements for the hostel have been carried out by Mr. Dhakmarvalla.

continued to avail themselves of the tennis courts. Foot ball, hockey and cricket

good throughout the year.
