German Scholarships.
(2.) This is a further Codicil to my Will. I note the German Emperor has made instruction in English compulsory in German schools. I leave five yearly Scholarships at Oxford of £250 per annum to students of German birth the Scholars to be nominated by the German Emperor for the time being. Each Scholarship to continue for three years so that each year after the first three there will be fifteen Scholars. The object is that an understanding between the three great Powers will render war impossible and educational relations make the strongest tie.
