The committee which will decide upon the applicants, and determine the successful candidate for the honor, will be composed of Professor George LaPiana, Professor G. B. Weston '97, Professor J. W. M. Ford, and Professor C. H. Grandgent '83. Applications for this scholarship are now being received by the secretary, A. P. Caprio '29, at 98a Winthrop Street, Cambridge...

While it is generally admitted that the Faculty of any university would free itself from what it considers a disagreeable duty, yet the artificial standards by which modern learning must unfortunately be protected seem to demand it. As for the undergraduates, the majority of whom are honest, they can and do remain personally indifferent to what machinery...
