...reported on good authority that one of the French professors has borrowed the German marking-machine...
...could be taken, without modifying them so as to suit the requirements of college athletes. It will be seen that the Constitution provides for a large number of events which have never been introduced at Harvard, but the Committee deemed it advisable to include rules to govern all really good sports, thinking that such rules may be of service before long.

Those who enter for the sports...
...practice of some of our instructors of marking on each examination-book the hour at which the student leaves the examination, is one for which we can see no excuse.

The change would consist simply in completing the halting analogy between a scholarship and "a silver cup won in a boat race," - the winner of this latter "prize" not being forced to remember that a majority of the class (including, perhaps, some of the best oarsmen) were restrained from competing. Scholarships open to all would undoubtedly attract to Harvard men who ought to be here, but who are so situated that they cannot...
