Colby University is now to realize the
benefit of the legacy of the late Gardner
Colby, equal to $4,000. This enables the
college to employ a new professor of History,
and to continue the services of the teacher of
Elocution. The University also offers a
scholarship of 1882 a year to the student
passing the best examination for admission.
This will almost support student through
the entire course. The examinations for
this prize will be more severe than the usual
entrance examinations. and the prize will be
awarded to no one, unless a certain fixed
standard of excellence shall be attained; nor
will any one be permitted to compete who
does not sustain high moral character.
