Their average for the past year was not below, and probably a little above, the average of the college at large, and the figures show there are both high and low scholars among them. The present method of marking is such that the averages cannot be obtained as exactly as a few years ago, but the conclusion is undoubtedly correct. Morgan's "University Oars" has settled the question for Oxford and Cambridge, that the men rowing in university races have a life longer and a health better...

In this connection, he finds fault with the method of awarding prizes because he says it is made purely on the basis of scholarship. In this, he is only partially right. Scholarship is of course the basis of awarding aid; what else could be?
