...directly to the point. My purpose is rather to deny that money given in scholarships is in any sense a charity, and to denounce in the strongest terms any attempt by undergraduate or outsider to arouse or increase that notion. It is a false one, wholly unworthy of the men who advance it. For what was the purpose of the founders of these scholarships? They were wealthy men interested in the cause of education, not in the education of a score or more young men in college, but in education as the power best fitted to benefit society and civilize...
...influence is to increase a man's natural desire to work by throwing upon him an obligation to do his utmost to forward the cause which he is chosen to assist. The list of those who have received scholarships is a roll of honor. The successful ones are the men who have overcome sharp competition by force of superior ability; they are men in whom have been found parts and powers worthy of recognition and encouragement, not for themselves alone, but also for the general cause of education, whose furtherance they are especially fitted and bound, directly or indirectly...

...bout between Messrs. Burr and Guiteras. The first round of this event proved to be by far the best display of skill given during the afternoon, and at almost every blow Mr. Burr succeeded in getting the better of his antagonist. But during the second round both men grew rather excited, and then science gave way to frequent locks and heavy battering, in which Mr. Guiteras, apparently the cooler of the two, got in a succession of powerful upper-cuts. The third round was a repetition of the preceding, though more even. Two or three times the ushers were obliged...
