We are not aware that the receipt of beneficiary aid, earned by good scholarship and good conduct, has anywhere been held to render the recipient ineligible for membership of a crew, a nine, or an eleven.

From this point of view the speech of Mr. Winslow, '85, was of peculiar interest. The suggestions which he made were timely. In the past there has been too little unity of action in athletics, between faculty, graduates, and students. It is this unity which we most need and which we must cultivate. Harvard athletics will need every honest effort which can be put forth in their behalf. It is our sincere hope that...
