...there is another circumstance which tends to mitigate the "evil efects" of this system of scholarships - the way in which they are awarded. A man, in order to receive the benefit of such aid, must distinguish himself in his studies, and this can he done only in two ways: either he must have extraordinary natural ability, or he must show himself capable of most diligent application.

It would be very strange indeed if in so large a body of students affectations and eccentricities should not exist, but that Harvard men themselves should countenance and encourage the opinion that such characteristics prevail throughout the college, and thereby distinguish it from other colleges, is truly deplorable. Any expression of sentiment condemning such practices as prevail among certain classes of men, and which bring discredit upon the college, will certainly meet the approval of Harvard students, and any frank discussion of evils that exist will be welcomed, but the assumption...
