A WAR BURSARY

TO IMMORTALISE A GALLANT SOLDIER, The committee appointed at the public meetiug called by.the Mayor (at the instance of the War Belief Association) for the purpose of taking steps to perpetuate the memory of the lace Lieutenant ! Crouch, has decided to establish aii apnual bursary at Wellingtou College for the purpose of assisting the winner to prosecute his studies at a' university college. The conditions attaching to the bursary have not yet been decided, but the committee are in close touch with tho College principal, Mr, J. P. Firth, who is taking a lively interest in tho matter. It is considered that at least ,£2OO will be necessary to produce the annual amount of tho bursary, and tho committee will be glad to rcceivo a contribution from'anyone who, approving of tho scheme, thinks the characteristics of tho late lieutenant's life and death a worthy example for future generations. It will be remembered that Lieutenant Crouch left the railway service to serve in the great war, and, after a life of self-denial arid filial devotion, was killed in battle gallantly serving his country, having first provided in his will that a small patrimony, inherited while he was in the service and never enjoyed by him,' should be given to tho War Belief Association for the Iwimnt (f his surviving comrades and their dependants in need. Contributions will be received and acknowledged by His Worship the Mayor; Messrs. L. 0. H. Tripp, c.o. Chapman, Skerritt, Tripp, and Blair; J. P. Maxwell, Upper Dixon Street; A. Mackintosh, 17 Waipapa Road, Hataitai; John Hutchcson, 92 Jervois Quay; and the secretary, War Relief Association, Lambton Quay. ___________
