Opportunities for Graduate Study at the
University Of Pennsylvania.


OF interest to all students, and espe-
cially to those that wish to pursue adj
vanced work are the extended oppor-
tunities for graduate study now open at
the University Of Pennsylvania.
BY the use of part of the generous
gift of Provost Harrison in memory of
his father there have been established
on the George Leib Harrison foundation
eight scholarships, nineteen fellowships
and five senior fellowships. The details
of the arrangements for granting these
prizes have been made public so recent
ly, that a unique opportunity presents
itself for securing either a fellowship or
a scholarship. The system is carefully
planned to be of service.
/. To the man who has taken degree
in arts or sciences at the university, He
has the opportunity to win scholar
ship granting him free tuition for one
year and the sum of $500.
2. To the graduate of any college
whose degrees are accepted by the uni
versity as equivalent to its own. He
must have done graduate work for at
least one year and must nave 5000
readinte knowledge of French and Ger
man. These fellowships are granted for
one year and may be once renewed. The
holder receives free tuition and the
sum of $500
8. To men who have already taken
the degree OF doctor of philosophy at
the university These last are to be
known as senior fellowships. The in
come of each is $500, and by annual re-
newal it may be held for three years.
This plan gives to the graduate of the
university who has shown marked abil-
ity the opportunity to pursue graduate
work and original research from one to
six weeks. The graduate of another
college may hold a $500 fellowship for a
term of two years, which may be ex-
tended to five should he take his doc
tors degree at the end of the first term
This system is supplemented by the
university scholarships" and the hon
orary memberships. OF the former
there win be twenty open for competi-
ton next year and thirty on succeeding
years. They carry with them free tut
ton and are awarded for one year only
The honorary fellowships are intended
to encourage advanced scientific in
vestigation. The appointee is admitted
to all the facilities of the university
