1. ' That the Jodrell Fund be appropriated to the foundation of Exhibitions of £100, £200 or £300 per annum for a period not exceeding three years, to be assigned by vote of the Council to persons desirous of the improvement of Natural Knowledge in order to enable them to obtain materials or skilled assistance from the carrying of that work.
2. That such persons be denominated Jodrell Exhibitioner, and be required to present to the Royal Society at the close of each year of tenure, a short account of the investigations upon which they have been engaged, and of the progress made therein.
3. That applications for Jodrell Exhibitions be sent in to the Council through the Secretaries, by some Fellow of the Society, who must state the grounds for the application. |
