trusted to Professor William R. Ware who has since continued at its
head.

The Department has at all time had the generous support of the
Trustees, besides which, one of their number, Mr. F. Augusts Scher-
merhorn has borne almost the entire expense of equipping the De¬
partment. In recognition of these benefactions the Trustees in 1889
set aside $13 000 of their invested funds to endow a Traveling
Scholarship to be held by graduates of the Department,, In the same
year Mr. Charles F. McKim gave to the Trustees $20 000 for a
similar purpose. These Scholarships are available in alternate years,
two students receiving a thousand dollars apiece one year and one
student receiving $13 00 the next. The choice is made by means of
a competition in design held every winter.
