The History of the Several Towns, Manors, and Patents of the County of Westchester (1881 revised edition, Vol. I)
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.
