CANADIAN SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH COUNCIL

PRE-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS

THE Canadian Social Science Research Council has received funds from the Rockefeller Foundation which enables it to offer a number of pre-doctoral fellowships. The value of the fellowships will normally range from $750 to $2,000.

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF AWARD

1. Candidates must have completed at least one year's post-graduate work before making application, preferably two years. Other things being equal, preference in awarding fellowships shall be given to candidates who thereby will be enabled to complete their post-graduate programme.

2. A fellowship may be awarded to enable a candidate either to continue his post-graduate study at an approved institution or, if the formal work required for a higher degree has been completed, to enable him to complete his thesis.

3. The number of fellowships available for any given academic year shall be determined by the Committee. Twenty-four were awarded in 1953. It is not contemplated that a fellowship will be awarded twice to the same person.

4. Candidates will procure from the Secretary of the Council six copies of the application form. These must be filled out and returned by January 10, 1954, supplemented by an official transcript of undergraduate and post- graduate record, and a personal letter setting out the candidate's plans for the future.

5. Awards shall be announced not later than March 31, 1954.

J. E. ROBBINS, Secretary, Canadian Social Science Research Council, 661 Island Park Drive, Ottawa.

BOOK BURSARIES

THE CANADIAN SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH COUNCIL once more offers to junior instructors in institutions throughout Canada whose libraries are weak an opportunity to secure one of its "Book Bursaries." Under this system, $100 worth of books is procured for the instructor who feels himself handicapped by reason of lack of books in the library of his institution. He may find this lack either in the courses he is required to teach, or in the field of his research. He may prepare a list of books that he feels would be helpful to him and these, after approval, will be forwarded by the Secretary of the Council. Author, title, place and date of publication, and price of each title should be given if possible. The total may amount to slightly more than $100, in case one or more items prove unprocurable.

Those interested in receiving "Book Bursaries" should apply either to Professor A. R. M. Lower, Queen's University, Kingston, or to the Secretary of the Social Science Research Council, Dr. John E. Robbins, 661 Island Park Drive, Ottawa.
