There are four Bible-Clerkships, to which allowances sufficient to cover all ordinary College expenses are attached. They are in the appointment of the Warden, and are, in practice, filled after competition among such candidates as give him satisfactory evidence of character and need of assistance to come to the University. No candidate is admitted to competition who has reached the age of 20. The examination is similar to the examination for a Classical Scholarship. There is usually an appointment to a Bible-Clerkship in June of every year.
