...abilities worth is being made, so that the most deserving as well as the most needy are given preference. The office has paid special attention to supplying positions for the summer, work which would not interfere with curricular activities. The bureau has done much to establish a greater connection with the Alumni Employment Bureau and the office of the Consultant on careers. It is trying to some extent to cooperate with the various Harvard Clubs throughout the country, and with the Dean's office and the Committee on Scholarships and Student Aid, a sadly neglected field...
Said Mr. Farrell: "I firmly believe that the time has now arrived for my successor to be appointed in order to establish the management upon a more permanent foundation composed of younger men." This contrasted sharply with his attitude last October. Revived was talk of friction between Mr. Farrell and some other members of the Finance Committee (Myron Charles Taylor, John Pierpont Morgan).

In addition to whatever interference in political affairs can be traced to the Society, their position...
Again, well-meaning benefactors establish scholarships to which are attached all manner of strings. The $600 Leavenworth Scholarship has gone begging since 1919 for want of a student with that name. Other funds exist for the use of the sons of retired Naval officers. In many cases, the scholarship exists where no candidate can be found who complies with the terms of the bequest. At a time when every scholarship could easily be put to immediate use, this situation is nothing short of a calamity. The University is powerless to use any of this money that is tied...
