It is not in uy sense a" memorial
for those fought and died, but a recog
nition by the company of the loyal
service ef till its employee both in
the shop and on the fiehl of battle.
Two of the scholarships arc to bo
open to employes of two .years' leng!!i
of service who aro under '23 years ef
age. The other two are to be limited
to sons of employes who have served
the company for at least five years
The selection in each case is 0 be
decided by competitive examination
to be conducted by the company's edu
cational department.
Scholarships will cni-.ble the suc
cessful candidates to pursue u four

college they may prefer, with the ap
proval of the committee. They may
study any. branch of engineering fhtry
choose, and in each case the student's
completion of his course depends on
his making good every year in accord

selected. '
