It is poor in order to enable those who come to her doors to receive an education to get it simply by natural ability and steady application, without being dependent upon outside help, as disbursements of almost sixty thousand dollars a year in scholarships will truthfully attest.

When we proposed this plan, it was with certain misgivings that it was rather chimerical to expect a defeated Yale to help send Harvard across the Atlantic, or a defeated Harvard to pay the expenses of victorious Yale. However, we believe, and shall adhere to one belief, that such an arrangement would be by far the most praiseworthy and satisfactory if it could be put into operation...
