IN an article called "Scholarships not Charities" in this number, the other side of the scholarship question is presented. In spite of what the writer says, we feel sure that the College papers have not misrepresented undergraduate opinion on this subject. As to President Eliot's reply to "T. W. H." being conclusive, we were not aware that there could be two opinions, but it seems that there can. Every one whom we have met, on the other hand, thought that the two letters in the Nation of March 13 were conclusive against the President. The writer of this article boldly claims that the present scholarships are not charities. If it can be shown that they are not, there is nothing more to be said; but it is so plain that they are that even President Eliot has rather given up this line of argument. As long as the Catalogue says, "None but those who need assistance are expected to apply," it will be hard to convince the average intelligence that money given in so-called scholarships is not a charity. The arguments of "T." on this point are somewhat plausible, but they seem to us unsound. We cannot see how the assistance given by the founders of scholarships to the holders of them can be called "a mutual helping toward a common end" any more than any other form of charity.
