Our correspondent on the scholarship question has erred to the extent that he has misinterpreted the remarks made by us in reference to scholarships reserved for the students of divinity as intended to apply to all scholarships. What our opinions are on the general subject of scholarships is entirely foreign to the question discussed in the editorial referred to. Our intention was to inveigh against the custom of giving scholarships which are limited, to a greater or less extent, to the use of students studying for some particular profession. We selected the clerical profession, as this profession is the one generally preferred in the assignment of such scholarships. At Harvard one-sixth of the entire number of scholarships are to a degree limited in this way, and, at other institutions in the country, the proportion is probably larger.
