Scholarship students at Harvard University have established and are carrying on one of the most beneficial and unusual teaching schemes yet noted in the field of modern education. Through an "undergraduate faculty," the Cambridge plan offers an educational opportunity to worthy high school graduates unable for various reasons to attend college . . . Such a tremendously important and progressive plan elicits our strongest praise and approval. For the advantages of the "pickaback scholar" system are numerous and far-reaching. It provides for further education, not only through classes, but also through the use of the library and the general introduction of eager pupils to the college as a place of learning. It offers a means for the scholarship student to gain financial help. Further, it presents the possibility of much needed preparation for teaching as a profession.

So profitable a plan should certainly be extended to include many more colleges. This could best be done through the suggested method that present recipients of NYA aid be culisted in these "undergraduate faculties" . . .

The establishment of a "pickaback scholar" plan at Vassar is much to be hoped for . . . As members of an educational institution we must surely recognize the benefits of this new plan and encourage its inception here. --Vassar Miscellany News
