...another column will be found the last of three articles by a graduate on the subject of scholarships, in which he has favored a system of open scholarships. Since we received this third article a long letter from Mr. T. W. Higginson has appeared in the New York Nation, in which he takes the same ground. The arguments have been well stated, and it only remains for us to express our agreement with the views of these writers. They have certainly supported the side of the case which is taken by the great majority of undergraduates; in fact, we have...
JUDGING from several newspaper articles, there seems to be a misunderstanding in regard to the proposed plan of private instruction for young women in Cambridge. The opinion prevails that a way has been found to admit women to Harvard College. Nothing of the kind has been done. Provisions have been made to enable young women to be instructed by Harvard professors: and if in time the number of such students becomes large enough, a second university may be built up at the side of Harvard which will give young women the same college advantages that young men have at present...

...another column will be found the programme of the spring races of the H. U. B. C., and it will be seen, on consulting it, that it has been decided to return to the system of class races. It seems to us that this decision of the executive committee is, on the whole, a wise one. The club system was certainly a failure, whatever the reason may have been, and any attempt to revive it would probably prove unsuccessful. It now rests with the classes to say whether the new system shall succeed, and we hope that they will...
...been objected to a general system of eleemosynary scholarships, that, under conditions which are found in America, it is impossible to make a fair selection of those who should be encouraged to compete for them. The reasons which prevent business men from confessing their want of success, in order that their boys may try for scholarships, have already been noted. But, putting parents out of the question, it is clear that any practicable tests between minor applicants must be of the roughest and most uncertain kind. A. B., for example, who is able to show that be has no property...
