Administrative / Biographical history
In 1908 it was decided to allot £100 p.a. for a Compassionate Fund, to be administered privately by the Provost, to meet specially hard cases of teachers not coming under the pension scheme or other persons who had served the College or school. This Fund had a separate account until 1923 when the balance was paid to the College accounts, and grants thereafter were made from the College account.
The fund appears to have been renamed the Benevolent Fund around 1910, and in 1942 they decided to set up a trust whose income would be applied at the discretion of the Provost in meeting cases of hardship in persons connected with Eton. As the taxman had disallowed as charitable some funds called Benevolent Funds, it was decided to call it the Eleemosynary Fund.
