Richard M. Koch '61, of Kirkland House and Haven, Kan., has been awarded the Jacob Wendell Scholarship, Dean Von Stade announced recently. The prize is given annually to the sophomore judged the most promising scholar of his class. A dinner for the recipient, attended by former Wendell Scholars, is held in Boston each year by the Wendell family...
Usually, at this point, the University rallies to the defense of its scholarship and loan programs, pointing out that, generally speaking, scholarships have kept pace with the tuition and board increases. Accepting this, it still means that two-thirds of the class of '59, those without scholarship benefit, have had to bear total cost increases of approximately $650 in the last three years...
Some of these students have proved they can "grin and bear it," but with scholarships and reserve family resources denied them, others have had to find some other way out.

With one hand the state government supports a free school establishment, while with its other it is paying those citizens who do not wish to use it. Such provisions insult, if they do not impair, the rights of Negroes; they prolong hopes for avoiding ultimate integration in that state where...
