Details
Mrs Mahon who was an Associate of the London College of Music at the age of 12 believed that the Conservatorium and subsequently the faculty of Music represented her ideal of the pinnacle of music. Since both the testatrix's mother and grandmother had gone blind and believing that she herself might go blind, she decided to establish a scholarship for a blind student.
