Catharine Gould Chism Scholarship
For Students in the Arts and Humanities
The Catharine Gould Chism Scholarship was established in 1978 by a bequest from the estate of Mrs. Catharine Gould Chism. Mrs. Chism was a Seattle businesswoman, a successful investor, and a lifelong patron of the arts. She was born in Bayside, Long Island, and granddaughter of Charles Gould, who is credited with the invention of the coupling device for rail cars. She and her husband, Mr. Middleton Chism, a prominent yachtsman and former Arboretum Foundation president, came to Seattle in 1929. Mrs. Chism became a discriminating patron of Northwest artists. She donated the Fountain of the Northwest, by James Fitzgerald, to the city of Seattle, now in the courtyard of the Seattle Center Playhouse.
