To financially hard-pressed undergraduates the Student Council will next week award several hundred dollars to be applied against the November term bill. The Council's budget provides for a total of $2300 in such grants during the year.
"The main purpose of these scholarships is to give grants of small amounts to students who cannot pay the full amount of the term bill," Douglas Mercer '40, chairman of the Council scholarship committee, said last night.

Mercer pointed out that application blanks which may be obtained from the P.B.H. secretary, must be filed in person by Friday, November 17.
