SCIHIOLARSI-'llllPS AND AWQARDS UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS, 1933 The school year of 1932-33 saw the Upper School registration in the London South Collegiate Institute pass the hun- dred mark for the first time. Usually a heavy increase in attendance is accom- panied by a lower average of academic achievement, but this, fortunately, was not the situation in this case. Not only was the record of papers passed at a high level, but the number of first class honours showed a remarkable increase over that of previous years. Among the large num- ber of successful students, several were awarded scholarships by the University of Western Ontario on the results of the 1933 Honour Matriculation examinations. The General Proficiency Scholarship for highest standing in English, History, Mathematics, Latin and one other lan- guage, of a value of 350000, was awarded to Norman Farrow. He also ranked first for the General Proficiency Scholarship in English, History, Mathematics, one Science and one Language. As well as ranking first for these two of the three General Proficiency Scholarships, Norman ranked first for three other scholarships of smaller value. His final record of ten first and one second class honours in quite in keeping with his yearly record during his whole five years in the Collegiate Institute. The scholarship for highest standing in Biology, Algebra, Geometry and two other papers, of a value of 325000, was award- ed to Paul Croly. He also was awarded a Leonard Foundation Scholarship of a value of 312500. The scholarship for highest standing in French, of a value of 312500, was awarded to Harold White. A Special Tuition Scholarship, entitling the Winner to two years' free tuition, of a value of 320000, found Clarence Cole- man and Gordon Matheson tied for standing. To these scholarship winners and also to several others who, as undergraduates, won University of Western Ontario Scholarships this year, we Wish to express our heartiest congratulations and fondest hopes that they may continue to bring honour to themselves and credit to their Collegiate Institute. Mr. Thomas E. Wilson of Chicago, an old London boy, and graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College, oiered three scholarships, each of a value of 330000, to be awarded each year to students graduating from the London Col- legiate Institutes and desiring to enter the O. A. C. at Guelph. Howard Phillips was awarded one of these scholarships for 1933, and has now joined the three others at that institution who have won these scholarships in the last two years, namely, Frank Love, John McKay and Lloyd Doan. The first Carter Scholarship for Mid- dlesex County, of a value of 310000 cash, for highest standing in the county on ten papers of Upper School work was award- ed to Norman Farrow of the London South Collegiate Institute. We wish most sincerely to congratulate Norman on this further recognition of his excellent stand- ing in Upper School, and hope that abun- dant success may attend his efforts dur- ing his University course. page thirty THE ORACLE
