...done in the present mode of awarding scholarships to each class separately, the average of scholarships being different in the various classes, men of equal ability and equally good records are treated differently. The one who happens to be in a dull class gets perhaps $200, while the other, whose class is superior, gets left. This was particularly noticeable in the last assignment; a man with 84 per cent. in the sophomore class got a Shattuck scholarship, while men with 87 per cent. in the junior class failed to get anything...

Those who are already in it will voluntarily avail themselves of religions privileges and, with rare exceptions, remain steadfast in the faith. These are not the students for whose improvement and conversion the college authorities express anxiety. But if compulsion really does not attract, but does repel, those for whose good it is exerted; if it tends to confirm in the irreligious their opposition, and to send them out into the world with - in many cases - a deep-seated aversion...
