"Ay, but I'm no sure that it's the remarkable boys who carry the bursaries. However, if you have taken a fancy to him you should hear what Mr. Cathro has to say on the subject; for my own part I have been more taken up with one of his band lately than with himself a lassie, too." "She who went into that house just before you came out?"
The charitable foundations of scholarships, exhibitions, bursaries, etc. necessarily attach a certain number of students to certain colleges, independent altogether of the merit of those particular colleges. Were the students upon such charitable foundations left free to choose what college they liked best, such liberty might perhaps contribute to excite some emulation among different colleges.
And for the next half-hour he was reciting cases in proof of his sagacity. "Wonderful!" chimed in McLean. "I see it is evident you can tell me how Tommy Sandys will do," but at that Cathro's rush of words again subsided into a dribble. "He's the worst Latinist that ever had the impudence to think of bursaries," he groaned.
Having gained there one of its highest bursaries, he never spent a thought, as he donned his red gown, on the son of the poor widow who had competed with him, and who, failing, had to leave ambition behind him and take a place in a shop where, however, he soon became able to keep, and did keep, his mother in what was to her nothing less than happy luxury; while the successful James well, so far my reader already knows about him.
He wished to establish 6000 bursaries, to be paid by Government, and to be exclusively at his disposal, so that thus possessing the monopoly of education, he could have parcelled it out only to the children of those who were blindly devoted to him. This was what the First Consul called the revival of public instruction.
The sons had worked their way with bursaries and scholarships through school and college, and now three of them were in positions of trust in the government of their country. One was in London, two in India and Duncan lay in France, that Holy Land of our people.
It has often occurred to me that probably nothing would be of more service in this matter than the creation of a number of not very large bursaries or exhibitions, to be gained by persons nominated by the authorities of the various science colleges and schools of the country persons such as they thought to be well qualified for the teaching business and to be held for a certain term of years, during which the holders should be bound to teach.
At Beaucaire, the students were housed and supported at the teacher's expense. In the seventeenth century, the students not only were paid small bursaries, but every household entertained one or more of them at table. In these circumstances their life was by no means dull or monotonous. A Jewish student endures much, but he knows how to get the best out of life.
There were then no bursaries open for competition; and though the expenses at home were not so great as they had once been, now that three of the family had been so far placed in life, the University class-fees and the cost of living, even in the most frugal way, entailed an expense which was formidable enough.
About two months after leaving Laxton, my fate in the worst shape I had anticipated was solemnly and definitively settled. This is the technical name in many cases, corresponding to the burse or bursaries of the continent; from which word burse is derived, I believe, the German term Bursch, that is, a bursarius, or student, who lives at college upon the salary allowed by such a bursary.
