...University is the most democratic of educational institutions: and the fact that there are some 1,600 students in the academic department of College proper alone, working their way through, unaided or with help from the College and that $300 is deemed a sufficient scholarship fund, should be proof that the expense of a course at Harvard cannot be greater than at any other of the large colleges and universities. Wealth secures to its possessor anywhere luxuries and the means of indulgence and dissipation, but dissipation is as unlikely to be tolerated under a college head like President Eliot...

The fact that at both West Point and Annapolis fencing is required as part of the curriculum ought to be sufficient proof that our government still considers it practical enough. Moreover, fencing as an official sport is increasing not only among colleges, but among preparatory schools as well. Both Exeter and Groton started the sport during the last year...
