...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.

It was announced that a considerable sum remained in the treasury, and the question was discussed as to the best use to make of it. The general sentiment was in favor of keeping it for a permanent fund, and only using the interest.
