...award of the Council of Radcliffe College, carrying a stipend of $600, went to Anne Fairchild of New York City, now attending the Riverdale Country School for Girls.

...earning $10,000 could generally afford to son to Harvard. The Scholarship Committee frowned on any applicants who listed their family income as high as $5,000 to $6,000. Now some scholarship students are in a bracket twice this high and still very much in need of their stipend.

The present number of physicians, if distributed properly, could very easily supply the nation's medical needs. But, as the bill is written now, the scholarship plan will never stimulate medical enrollment; and the stipend paid schools for additional students can increase the body of physicians only in proportion to the population growth. Without this financial aid to the schools, the AMA can expect a decrease in quality if not in numbers of the profession whose exclusiveness it so jealously guards...
