on 7 7th September, 1890, Patrick Allan Fraser died,
it was found that all the property in Scotland was
destined to art purposes.
Under his settlement Mr.
Fraser directed his trustees
to apply the free income of
all his Scottish possessions—
FIospital field and Kirkton
in Angus, Blackcraig in
Strathardle, and one or two
other properties — to two
purposes, the education of
young men as artists and
the maintenance of aged
or infirm professional men.
On taking office, however,
the trustees found that the
testator’s scheme had gone
beyond the bounds even
of his ample estate. After
nursing the property during
the decade that has elapsed
since his death, they still
found themselves compelled
to defer the second purpose
MERMAID ASH-TRAY
The first purpose is : “For the assistance and
encouragement of young men not having
sufficient means of their own, who shall be
desirous of following out one or more of the
professions of painting, sculpture, carving in
wood, architecture, and engraving.” There is
no limitation of the Trust by name or nation-
ality. Students to the number of thirty, of
not less than sixteen and not more than eighteen
years of age, are to be comfortably lodged,
boarded, and clothed at Hospitalfield, after
meeting the trustees’ test of fitness for their
selected professions. That test is at present
under consideration, and the number of thirty
students, specified in the settlement, has for the
present been restricted to eight or ten. After
admission, the students are to be further tried
by a few months’ probation, and are then in-
dentured for four years upon condition of their
conforming to the rules of the house. A quali-
fied teacher is to be appointed governor.
Provision is made for building a separate wing
for his residence, but in the meantime he will
reside in the mansion. The trustees have
chosen Mr. George Harcourt, Professor Her-
komer’s assistant at Bushey, as the first gover-
nor. The complete staff will further include
a matron, assistant governor, and medical attendant.
