Note 28 — Chapter III · FROM PROVISION TO PRACTICE, 1902-1906 THE MEASURES AND STEPS BY WHICH THE SCHOLARSHIP SYSTEM HAS BEEN ORGANIZED
Reading edition
A Scholar is an undergraduate who, as the result of examination, is entitled to a grant of so much (generally £80) per annum by the College. This amount is subtracted from his ‘battels’, not paid directly to him. Scholarships are given for two years, renewable for a further two years, without further examination. A Commoner is one who is not entitled to such a grant from a College.
