Gov. Atkinson has recently received
twenty-five applications for scholarships
in the augusta Medical College. The
state has the right to appoint for every
collegiate year two young men from each
congressional district to be educated free
at this institution. When young man
has the good fortune to receive a sChol-
arship at the hands of the governor, he
can gain a medical education at very
small cost mis- expenses amounting to
but little more than his board bill These
appointments are made every year, So
that those who have already received
scholarships and are stu undergraduate
must be reappOinted 10 hold their place
in the college. Some of the twenty-five
applications recently sent to the governor
are from young men who have been IN
the INSTITUTION DQl the greater part o.
them are from youths seeking scholar
ships for the first time. AS some of the
undergraduates Of the college are not in
cluded in this list of applicants, and as
the appointment of the whole number
would throw these men out of a place
In the institution. it is certain that only
a few scholarships will be given thi:
year.
