initiative and resourcefulness in planning experiments, and his<br />
power <strong>of</strong> applying his knowledge to concrete problems, rather<br />
than to test memorized information. The ten or twelve most<br />
successful applicants will be expected to present themselves later<br />
for personal interviews.<br />
The scholarships will be awarded on the basis <strong>of</strong> all the information<br />
available in regard to the applicants-the results <strong>of</strong> their<br />
examinations, their high-school records and recommendations,<br />
the statements submitted as to their student activities and outside<br />
interests, and results <strong>of</strong> the personal interviews. The awards<br />
will be made without reference to financial need; but any successful<br />
student with adequate resourc€s may relinquish the money<br />
payment in favor <strong>of</strong> the next most deserving competitor, while<br />
retaining the scholarship as an honorary recognition. The winners<br />
<strong>of</strong> these scholarshlps will be designated Freshman Scholars,<br />
and will be so registered in the <strong>Institute</strong> Catalogue.<br />

and a similar annual scholarship available for a graduate<br />
<strong>of</strong> the high school <strong>of</strong> Bend, Oregon.<br />

this fund is used for maintaining scholarships covering a part or<br />
