Proposed Merger

[edit]

Agree but it should continue to be called "Snell Exhibitioner" as this is the name that is used, rather than "Snell Scholar". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.67.98.241 (talkcontribs) 14:52, 25 September 2006.

1760?

[edit]

How could James Stirling be a matriculated as a Snell exibitioner in 1711 if (as the article mentions) it was not found until 1760? See http://www-history.mcs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Biographies/Stirling.html

I am wondering about that too, Adam Smith's page says he was awarded it in 1740.

Must be errors in the article. According to the Snell Foundation's website: "The first four Snell Exhibitioners were sent from Glasgow and admitted to Balliol in mid-1699".[1] Both James Stirling and Adam Smith are on their list. --Legis (talk - contributions) 08:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
