Scope and content
The series contains schema for the scholarship, blank certificates of award, financial records and correspondence. Much of the latter is between the administrators of the scholarship and the recipients.
The Daniel Hodgson Scholarship was established in the Court of Chancery (B703) in 1883 by Edward J. Hodgson and George W. Hodgson in memory of their father Daniel Hodgson, for fifty-four years Clerk of the Crown and Prothonotary of the Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island. An endowment of $2200 was paid into the Court of Chancery and a final scheme settled by decretal order of the 13th day of March 1908. Scholarships however were awarded as early as 1884 with only slightly different requirements than those which follow.
The purpose of the scholarship was the encouragement of higher education in those desirous of entering Holy Orders and was for the full Arts course of three universities in rotation, i.e. McGill (Montreal), Laval (Quebec), King's College (Windsor, NS). Candidates were to be residents of Prince Edward Isalnd and under the age of 25. They were required to pass the matriculation examination of the respective university with the applicant obtaining the highest result receiving the scholarship. Payment was made only after the filing of semi-annual certificates from the authorities of the university that the student was taking the full Arts course, that his moral conduct was good and that his attention to his studies and general conduct had been good.
The scholarship continued to be awarded at least until 1944.
