THE space devoted to the subject of scholarships in the President's Report, and the fact that many of the Junior class have just been writing forensics on the propriety of throwing them open to those who are not in need, makes this a very suitable time for the further discussion of our present system of scholarships. In another column will be found a communication from a graduate, and we shall be glad to welcome any intelligent discussion of the subject. It is evident that it is not closed by the President's Report. He has shown, to be sure, that the results of the present system are, on the whole, good; but this does not prove that it has no defects, or that there is no better system. There is undoubtedly a strong feeling of dissatisfaction among many undergraduates with the way in which the scholarship funds are at present administered. It is claimed, for instance, that many are allowed to compete for scholarships to whom they are no more of a necessity than to others who are practically excluded. Protests against the present usage have been made in past years, but without success. Owing to the conditions under which nearly all the scholarships have been left, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to throw them open to free competition. All that can be done is to influence future founders of scholarships, and this point must be kept in view by those who write upon the subject.
