...desire to enter into an elaborate discussion on the wisdom of prohibiting the holders of scholarships from those pleasures whose only harm consists in intemperate use, we will merely say that we think the majority of experienced, fair-minded men would unite in disapproving such a course. The plan of college assistance is, as we understand it, to smooth the rugged path of the poor but promising student, so that that part of his energy which would otherwise be spent in overcoming the difficulties of the journey to Parnassus may be devoted to intellectual effort; and, up to a certain...
