CUNNINGHAM MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP, At the moctiug of the Alumiife Association of the State Female Xiirmal Scliool, in June, 1899, it was decicled to found a memorial scholarship to Dr. Joliu A. Cunningham. The scholarship will be at the State Female Normal School, and will probably be awarded by competitive examinations. This was decided on instead of a monument, because it was thought that it ould l)e more in harmony with Dr. Cunningham ' s views. The money is to be raised by contribution from the alumnfe and others interested, these contributions to be paid either in advance or in yearly installments, to begin in December of 1S99, and to continue through five years. It will be necessary to raise about twenty-tive hundred dollars, of which six hundred dollars was pledged by the faculty of the School and the few members of the Association present at the June, 1899, meeting. Anyone who desires to contribute may pay in advance or on the installment plan. Hereafter, if you promise to pay on the installment plan, you will receive a notice on November 1 of each year. Dr. Cunningham was wideh ' known and loved tln-ongliout the State; there- fore, we hope the alumme may obtain contributions from others not connected with the School. All correspondence and contributions should be sent to The Cunnin gham Memorial Scholarship CoionxTEE, State Female Normal School, Farmville, Va.
