...writer further complains that some students are handicapped by their poor preparation for college and are obliged to take a lower stand than their more fortunate fellows. In this connection, he finds fault with the method of awarding prizes because he says it is made purely on the basis of scholarship. In this, he is only partially right. Scholarship is of course the basis of awarding aid; what else could be? But the gentlemen who have the distribution of scholarships in charge, have the privilege of using their discretion as to whether high standing shall be the only thing considered...

Bates, '91, pitched to one net for a half hour...
During the early part of the winter certain members of the Harvard Club of New York determined to find out the views of the alumni of this University in respect to allowing our nine to play with professionals. The result of the investigation was the almost universal acknowledgment by the graduates that the present system was unjust to the students. A fair statement of the case to the faculty was therefore decided upon. In order to show that the movement was not local and was not confined to a few men, the signatures of over two hundred of the older...
