The honor itself of gaining such a prize would be a sufficient stimulus for many a young man, whether in college or out, and the distinction thus won would be a great help to him. By this plan the deserving and gifted young man would be brought to the front, and would take the places now too often taken by hopeless mediocrity. Many a dormant talent would come forward, and in a few years we should see a scientific enthusiasm never before witnessed...
