...every case. For, notwithstanding the modest statement in the Catalogue that none but the really indigent are expected to apply, it is a well-known fact that there are a number of holders of scholarships who could live comfortably without them, while others, who have to stint themselves in regard to food and clothes, are refused because they do not obtain the required per cent. Under the elective system, where there is so much difference in the courses and professors, to conclude that one man is not as studious or has not as much ability as another because his rank...
...entirely agree with the views expressed by our correspondent in regard to the plan suggested in the President's report of having recitations Saturday afternoon. We cannot protest too strongly against such a scheme. Not only would it render it utterly impossible for those students who live at a distance from Cambridge to go home over Sunday, but it would deprive us of the only real half-holiday we have.

But I cannot regard the College Fund as having as much claim upon the student as many other subscriptions have, such as that to the University Crew, because, 1st, we have already...
...afternoon or Saturday morning, and do not return to Cambridge until Monday morning. A large proportion of those who thus go home every week do no real studying while they are absent from Cambridge. High scholarship is not to be won on such easy terms. The serious student should regard the days or weeks in term-time, when regular lectures, recitations, and laboratory work are intermitted, as time to be used for reading, writing, and converse with comrades in intellectual pursuits. The summer vacation is, in itself, a quarter of the year; to take vacation in addition during one-third...
