Sir CONAN DOYLE has presented the University of Edinburgh with the sum of £1,000, being the balance of profit upon his pamphlet on the war and the conduct of the troops. He expresses the desire that the University should institute a bursary under its own conditions, in connexion with the Faculty of Medicine, which shall be only available for students from South Africa. He makes the condition that no one should be entitled to hold the bursary who is not prepared to declare that the money is necessary for him in order to enable him to pursue his studies. All the other details he leaves to the University. He concludes the letter transmitting the gift as follows: "It is a great pleasure to me to feel that I am able to make even so trifling a contribution as this to my own old University, whose fame and influence are dear to all who have studied within her walls."
