George Feaver Young Scholars Fund

[Leslie Marsh]

The Executive Committee of the Michael Oakeshott Association wish it
to be known that a fund is being set up in the name of the late George
Feaver. George’s widow has very generously agreed to capitalize the
fund: we are seeking donations to expand the fund, with a view to
collectively matching the initial capitalization through contributions
from George’s friends and admirers.

After much consideration George’s widow has decided that the best way
to keep George’s name alive, particularly in the circles that had an
appreciation of him and where he felt most at home, is to establish a
student grant fund in George’s name, administered under the auspices
of the Michael Oakeshott Association (MOA). Oakeshott was in fact one
of George’s teachers at the London School of Economics, and George
retained a lifelong affinity for Oakeshott’s work.

The purpose of the George Feaver Young Scholars Fund will be to
provide travel and accommodation support to young scholars presenting
a paper at MOA conferences and, if the ultimate size of the fund
permits, to support other research and publication activities by
junior scholars. Grants will be open to applicants from around the
world, and applications will be adjudicated by a committee already in
place.

If you wish to participate in this memorial, please make checks
payable to the “Michael Oakeshott Association” and include a covering
note earmarking the donation for the George Feaver Young Scholars Fund
(the MOA qualifies as a (501) (c) charity, which means that donations
are tax deductible in the United States). Donors will be kept apprised
of students whose work they are supporting.

Donations can be sent to:

Michael Oakeshott Association
c/o Mark North
2625 Alcatraz Avenue, #177
Berkeley, CA 94705


Thank you for considering this opportunity to sustain George’s
legacy. All contributions are greatly appreciated.
