HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER. 



third bears also the name of the 'John Bard Scholarship,' the first 

 contributor of funds to aid in the erection of the school. A fourth 

 scholarship bears the well-known name of its earliest country contributor, 

 a name as world-wide in literary reputation, as it is dear to his friends : 

 the 'Washington Irving Scholarship.' A fifth bears the name of a 

 most liberal and kind contributor to all good works : the ' Robert B. 

 Minturn Schotarship.' A sixth that of the 'Franklin C. Field 

 Scholarship,' in return for the gift of two village lots. And a seventh 

 that of the 'Trinity Church Scholarship,' in memory of its liberal 

 grant of $1,000. 



To these free scholarships, the nomination under the rules of the 

 school, is in the hands of those whose names they respectively bear, for 

 life, or descending to heirs according to the amount of endowment. 



In addition to the above private scholarship, nine further are provided, 

 as "on the foundation," to which the nomination lies jointly in the 

 "Visitor," the "Missionary" and the "Principal" of the school ; the 

 object of these last being to provide gratuitous instruction for such as 

 need it in the neighborhood, without the reproachful distinction of being 

 received in forma pauperis.
