SCOTT. George Scott, Esq., late of Eagle Villa, Queen's Road, Peckham, London, S.E., and Tullypowrie, Perthshire, who died on 19th April 1893, gave, in terms of his will, dated 24th March 1893, to his executors and trustees the sum of £1000 upon trust, to be applied to found one or more Scholarships, tenable at the University of St Andrews. The executors and trustees having agreed that certain wishes of the testator could be better given effect to if the said sum was applied in founding a Bursary instead of a Scholarship, the University Court has mortified the amount of the bequest for the foundation and endowment of a Bursary, to bear the name of "The George Scott Bursary," in connection with the Faculty of Arts, the said Bursary to be held under and to be subject to the conditions and regulations following, viz. :— 1. The said Bursary shall be awarded to an applicant who is a native of the parish of Dull, or of the parish of Weem, or of the parish of Logierait in Perthshire, if he pass the entire Preliminary Examination, and obtain at the Bursary Competition a number of marks deemed sufficient by the Senatus Academicus; and if there are two or more applicants who are natives of the said parishes of Dull, Weem, or Logierait, the Bursary shall be awarded to the one who stands highest in the order of merit in the Bursary Competition in the University of St Andrews. 2. If there are no applicants who are natives of any of the said parishes, the Bursary shall be open to all competitors, and shall be awarded according to the results of the Bursary Competition. 3. The Patrons may withhold the Bursary if none of the applicants appear to them to be suitable and deserving, in which case, as in all other cases where, from the death of the Bursar or any other cause, a vacancy in the tenure of the Bursary may result and an accumulation of income may take place, the income for the year or lesser period may be added to capital or be used to supplement future Bursaries as the Patrons may deem best. 4. The said Bursary shall be tenable only during the good behaviour of the holder, and any student who, in the judgment of the Senatus Academicus, may from misconduct or any other cause be undeserving longer to hold a Bursary, shall forfeit his right to the benefit of this foundation upon the Senatus recording in their Minutes a resolution to that effect. 5. It shall not be competent to any person to hold the said Bursary along with any other Bursary yielding to him an annual income of £30 sterling or upwards; and the right of any student appointed to a Bursary on this foundation shall terminate on his obtaining such a Bursary, and thereupon it shall be open to the Senatus Academicus to make a new appointment in manner foresaid. 6. The said Bursary shall consist of the free annual income of the said mortified sum and accumulations thereof-that is, of the income after deduction of all necessary expenses (about £35). 7. The University Court shall be entitled to make such further regulations, not inconsistent with the foregoing, as it may from time to time consider desirable for the better administration of the said Bursary.
