R6.211 - THE MADELEINE ORR SCHOLARSHIP

Recitals-

  1. Mrs Madeleine Grace Hearly, who was also known as Madeleine Grace Orr, an actress of 2 Merton Avenue, Elwood, Victoria and also of 343 Kensington High Street, London, United Kingdom who died on 29 June 1979 bequeathed to the University, subject to a life interest, one third of the proceeds of the sale of the property Unit 2, 684 Hawthorn Road, Brighton East.

  2. The bequest was 'to the CONSERVATORIUM OF MUSIC OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE with the direction that the same be applied for the purposes of providing a Scholarship to be known as THE MADELEINE ORR SCHOLARSHIP for a student of such Conservatorium of Music of the said UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE in piano forte'.

  3. The Conservatorium of Music is now the faculty of Music.

  4. On the expiry of the life interest on 10 October 2000 the University received $74,504.42 in satisfaction of the bequest.

It is provided as follows-

  1. The sum of $74,504.42 and any accumulations and additions to the sum form a fund called 'The Madeleine Orr Scholarship' ('the fund') and the fund must be placed in an investment pool and remain there until the Council directs otherwise.

  2. The scholarship is awarded annually by the Council on the recommendation of the dean of the faculty of Music ('the faculty') to a talented full time student enrolled in a degree course in pianoforte in the faculty. In making any such recommendation the dean of the faculty ('the dean') may take into consideration the financial needs of the candidates.

  3. The scholarship is of such value as the Council on the recommendation of the dean may determine, but must not exceed the net annual income of the fund.
