Is there any way to expand this? As it stands, it is basically a WP:DICDEF and it is not a good one at that. For example, see my recent comment about the differences between an Oxbridge exhibition and scholarship here. - Sitush (talk) 17:06, 2 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Exhibition (scholarship). Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20091021090456/http://www.wellingtoncollege.org.uk/page.aspx?id=18 to http://www.wellingtoncollege.org.uk/page.aspx?id=18

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Reason for the name?

Latest comment: 6 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Why is this type of award called an exhibition? At first glance the name looks as if it could indicate that something is being shown or displayed - but in that case, what would be the "something"?

Or does the word have a different meaning altogether in this case, perhaps something like "remedy for an inhibition", in the sense that it was meant to allow a good student to carry on rather than being inhibited (held back) for lack of money?

Whatever the real reason for the name, it would be nice to have it here, hopefully with a quotation from some very old source that makes it obvious how the word is being used. TooManyFingers (talk) 15:38, 30 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
