About MeResults of Bursary Competition, Early Paper Ephemera, dated 31st October 1896. Lists order of merit, candidate number, candidate name, residence, age given, "grammer", arithmetic, composition, geography, history, and total marks. McBey, candidate number 33, did better than his peers, and was 12 at the time of participating in the competition.

Compared to his peers, McBey received total marks of 383 (the pupil in second place received 379, and the lowest received was 104). He achieved 100 in arithmetic, and his lowest mark was 92 in geography. No mark is provided for history, and the results become confusing as one reads down the page (unable to tell which of the late results are for which subject).

This object is part of an archive that belonged to Marguerite McBey. As a result of her generosity, Aberdeen Art Gallery holds the largest archive of James McBey's work, including prints, drawings, sketchbooks, oil paintings and memorabilia such as this document.
