876 Scott

876 Scott is a minor planet orbiting the Sun.
For a long time, its name had been falsely attributed to Robert [Falcon Scott]. In fact, it was named by the discoverer in grateful memory of Miss E. Scott, who for a long time selflessly directed the relief efforts of the Society of Friends in Vienna and was particularly concerned with improving the situation of members of Austrian universities. The name therefore honors Ms. E. Scott in recognition of her help and support for the members of Austrian universities after World War I.
