The Senatus, with the hearty concurrence of her Trustees, resolved that in the meantime a grant from the general Scholarship Fund should be added to these scholarships so as to increase their annual value to about £50; that a special examination in Hebrew should be necessary in order to obtain them; and that the holders should be required to give assistance as tutors in the elements of Hebrew with a view to aid students in preparing for the entrance examination. The first appointment was made in November 1875.

§ XI. SOCIETIES, &c.

1. GLASGOW FREE CHURCH STUDENTS' MISSIONARY SOCIETY. This Society consists of Free Church students in Glasgow attending the Divinity Hall or the University. In its present form, it is an amalgamation of the Prayer Meeting Society and the Missionary Society, which formerly existed separately.

The objects of the Society are, to cultivate an intelligent missionary spirit among its members; to assist in carrying on mission work both at home and abroad; and to disseminate missionary intelligence among the congregations of the Free Church.

Besides the Society's home mission work, in which the members are expected to take part, some Foreign Mission Scheme, which seems to stand in special need of aid, is selected at the beginning of each session. Deputies from the Society address congregations and plead the claims of this special scheme and obtain collections in its behalf. Last year, the Society's scheme was in aid of the Madras College, and it sent £170 for that object.
