The Lady Mowlson Scholarship at Cambridge.

The article discusses the creation of the first scholarship at Harvard College by widow Ann Mowlson of London, England. The author comments on his efforts to find more information on Mowlson and notes genealogical research focusing on merchant and former London alderman and mayor Thomas Mowlson, who endowed a chapel and school. He comments on the possibility that Thomas Mowlson was a dissenter from the Church of England and a stipend offered by Ann Mowlson to pastor Thomas Weld for Harvard College as a way of aiding low-income scholars.
