Printed 'Notes on Research Work in the University of Edinburgh', February 1895

In the text, Ewart bemoans 'the barrenness of Edinburgh' for research opportunities, stating that '[i]t has not yet been recognised that if Edinburgh is to take her share in the glorious work of extending the bounds of human knowledge by research, it must not trust only or chiefly to her Professors, who in many cases are overburdened with teaching and other duties.' Ewart goes on to make a case for the institution of Research Fellowships, the free use of laboratories those Fellows, and the establishment of an MSc degree open to BSc and MB graduates.
