...fifth of the men in each class apply for scholarships, and of these fully two-thirds obtain the aid they seek. In the second place, the writer states what is not true when he says very many of the scholarships are awarded to men who do not really need them. Before a man can receive pecuniary assistance from the college he must submit to an examination by the Dean and must sign papers in which he declares his need. Though a few men may enjoy scholarships who do not really need them, such cases are rare and do not warrant...

Since it is not evident why assistance such as scholarships should reduce the expenses, there is no need for the column headed, "Least without assistance;" and the column under "Athletic" is unnecessary, because there is not much difference between it and those on either side, and because some of the expenses, such as theatres and parties, where an increase is made, are for the very luxuries from which the athlete...
