There can be little doubt but that the total amount distributed to graduates of Cambridge schools in all branches of the University has in recent years been equal to the income of the Buckley fund. But in your calculations you assume six thousand dollars of this income is distributed to Freshmen, whereas the fact of the matter is that no Cambridge Freshmen have received money publicly identified with this source. They have received what have been termed Cambridge scholarships (awarded to those with honor grades) and Cambridge Aid. All but a few Cantabridgians have been under the impression (or delusion...
...this money did not come from the Buckley fund it would seem that the entire $10,000, formerly $15,000, would be available for upperclassmen and graduates, which total amount, of course, has never been distributed to the latter. They receive approximately one-half the listed income (1934-5) of the Buckley fund...

It is supposedly based on the inference that students who live in the city of Cambridge do not have as heavy expenses as those coming from other places. Granted that they may be somewhat loss it does not follow that their parents are any more able to pay them than the parents of students who do not live in Cambridge...
President Edwin Rogers Embree of the Julius Rosenwald Fund has never left anyone in doubt of his low esteem for Southern educational standards. But President Embree is an exceedingly genial man and last spring when he passed through Baton Rouge he allowed newshawks to quote him as saying that Louisiana State University had "every right to come to be included in the first twelve or 15 universities" of the U. S. Month ago James Monroe Smith, president of L. S. U., quoted Mr. Embree as predicting the imminent inclusion of his institution among the first dozen U. S. universities. When...
