9. On account of the present financial stringency and with a
view to minimise expenditure at the College, Government have
ordered that the total number of scholarships at the college should
be reduced from 20 to 15, five in each class—3 for youths from the
Presidency proper and 2 for youths from Sind. Accordingly the
Principal awarded three scholarships to the students from the Pre-
sidency proper. The Commissioner in Sind did not send any
scholar from Sind. There were 11 scholars already studying at the
college, 8 from the Presidency proper and 3 from Sind. There were
thus in all 11 scholars from the Presidency and 3 from Sind.

The Central Provinces Government continued stipends to
24 scholars already studying at the college. Jammu and Kashmir
Government continued stipends to their 4 scholars. Gwalior,
Chhota Udaipur, Bansda and Bhavnagar States continued stipends
to their scholars. Mysore State awarded scholarships to 2 students
already studying at the College. Jhalwar State sent 2 new scholars.

scholar. There were thus 53 students in receipt of some assistance
and 63 without such assistance at the end of the year.
