...second ground of objection, the complainant tried to show that the applicants, as students deriving their support wholly or in part from their parents, were not domiciled in Cambridge. The third ground of objection was that the absence from Cambridge during the summer vacation prevented the applicants from establishing the necessary residence. It is with reference to the last two points that the case is of interest to Harvard students. In each of the cases in which registration was granted, the applicant presented evidence to show that he was wholly or in part self-supporting, and that he was free...

...Department of Economics is not now seeking the means for undertaking this work on a large scale. It is in quest of funds to establish some research assistantships; and will be content to await results from these before extending the work. The tuition fee was increased partly in order to remove that discouragement to donors which was created by the existence of the deficit, and it is to be hoped that funds will now be found to strengthen such important fields of scholarship as this...
