In a letter to the Vice-Chancellor the donors say they believe the racial and social problems involved by the existence of large numbers of mentally incapable persons in the community are of great national importance, and that their solution may have far reaching effects.
They to give the money in memory of the following persons: Hume C. Pinsent, scholar and fellow of St. John’s College; Erasmus Darwin, exhibitioner of Trinity College; David Hume Pinsent, scholar of Trinity College; and Richard Parker Pinsent, exhibitioner of Balliol College, Oxford.
If a studentship is founded, they intimate that they would like it to be open to either sex and suggest that it be called the Pinsent- Darwin Studentship. Mr. Hume Chancellor Pinsent, who died at Foxcombe Hill, near Oxford, four years ago, was well known in Birmingham as a member of the firm of Messrs. Smith, Pinsent, and Co. solicitors.
Elected to a foundation scholarship at St. John’s, Cambridge, in 1876, he had a distinguished career, graduating fourth wrangler in 1878. In Birmingham Mr. Pinsent did good work in connection with the Midland Institute and the University, and on his retirement from business 1913 was a member of the Council of the latter body.
