COMPANY TO OFFER
THIRD SCHOLARSHIP
Gas Light Firm Will Sponsor

graduates of Mckinley Manual Train.
ing High School Of this city.
The Johns Hopkins University is
leading research, learning and serv-
ice into this field, and is the first
American university to establish a gas
engineering department. This new
department, fostered in the beginning
by a small group Of interested men
in the Southern Gas Association, has
now become national, perhaps inter
national. in scope and Importance.
Universities throughout the country
are watching with great interest the
work in the gas engineering depart
ment, and many of them are making
plans for the establishment Of suchI
branches in their engineering schools.
Course Of Four Years.
The undergraduate course consists
Of four years, the first two of which
are devoted chiefly to fundamental
and cultural courses, such as English,
drawing, mathematics, physics and
chemistry. In the third and fourth
years these are combined with pro-
fessional studies in gas engineering,
fuel analysis and by-product recovery,
together with related courses dealing
with the elements of other branches
of engineering.
This course was first established IN
1924 with only three day students,
whereas the enrolment has now grown
to 43. AS interest is manifested further
in this work and young men begin to
realize the vast opportunities that
await them In this important and vital
business. this department of Johns
Hopkins University Engineering
School will undoubtedly show remark
able growth each year.
The scholarship offered at this time
by the Washington Gas Light Co. is
open to residents of Washington or
vicinity supplied with gas by the COM
pany or it's subsidiaries, such resi-
dents, of course, to be able to meet
the university requirements for en-
trance. The scholarship is worth s450
year for four years, which covers
the cost of tuition, laboratory fees
and other incidental expenses. but
does not include board and room. The
appointment for the scholarship will
be for one year, the holder being eli.
gible for reappointment from year to
year, however, IL he conforms in char
acter. industry and ability with the
standards and requirements Of the
university.
The Office Of the secretary of the
Washington Gas Light Co. will ex-
plain the conditions of this scholarship
in detail of any one interested in the
matter.
