Description | Suggests establishing Research Studentships for the Malay States. Explains that the object of the proposed studentships would be to help young scientific men spend a year or two in the Malay States studying a specified piece of research work in medicine, zoology, botany, anthropology, economic forestry, geology, or mineralogy. Discusses salary, timeframe, travel, living quarters, type of scientific men wanted (ones who aspire to high academic or scientific distinction in Europe, not a permanent career in the tropics). Asks them to refer the suggestions to the Royal Society, the Trustees of the British Museum, and the Senates of the Universities (of Oxford, Cambridge, Liverpool, and Imperial College), for comment. |
