...made purely on the basis of scholarship. In this, he is only partially right. Scholarship is of course the basis of awarding aid; what else could be? But the gentlemen who have the distribution of scholarships in charge, have the privilege of using their discretion as to whether high standing shall be the only thing considered. In many cases aid is given to a student who is judged to need the scholarship most, although his standing in his class is lower than some others who apply for aid. In conclusion it may be said that it would be far better...
...annual rank list. In such a large college the competition is necessarily great. Those who have been fitted at the Harvard preparatory schools of the Eastern States generally have the advantage from the start. Scholarships being regarded as prizes for high marks are often eagerly sought after whether needed or not. Many a student with sufficient assistance from home is glad to supplement his funds and thus live in luxury with the added honor of having his name printed among the holders of scholarships.

A short poem, "Guidance," is a very pretty bit of verse. It is not an ambitious attempt, and perhaps the more successful for that reason. It is simple in thought...
...subsidizing her shipping. Up to 1885 she had already paid $273.563,000 in protecting and developing her commerce by means of mail subsidies. It is said that the present tariff needs reform, that it is full of inequalities and abominations. No man would do other than support any measure-whether specific legislation for particular cases or general revision-which would correct injustices and remove inequalities. The question before the nation is, however, not one of reform or even of the disposal of the surplus. The accumulation of a surplus could be stopped by buying bonds, as the Secretary...
