...This list is quite a long one, and contains some that have a good income. Following it is this statement: "None but those who need assistance are expected to apply for scholarships." This principle is undoubtedly wrong, and it is gratifying to see that the President, in his recent report, has come to this conclusion. Such a mistaken idea can only arise from a mistaken conception of the end for which a scholarship is established. A scholarship is undoubtedly intended to advance learning as much as possible. Then how can this end be attained, how can the highest learning...
...College has a large number of prominent graduates who live outside this State, and there is no reason, now that communication is so easy, why a graduate living in New York or even farther off than New York should not serve on the board. In the President's Report for 1874-75 two pages are devoted to the policy of widening the geographical influence of the College; and the Cincinnati examinations show this policy to be accepted by the Faculty. If there were one or more Overseers living beyond the radius of a few miles from Boston, the tendency would...

The members of the Committee, it is reported, would be glad to assist in any way possible towards a successful Class...
...Visiting Committee for 1875 - 76 have made their report. While they find the College generally in a satisfactory and improving condition, changes are suggested in almost all the departments. In the department of Moral and Intellectual Philosophy, although "the young men are stimulated to think for themselves upon controverted points, and care is taken to acquaint them with the objections which must be met before satisfactory conclusions can be reached," the result often unsettles conviction and produces "a sceptical turn of mind which is the more hopeless because it thinks itself rational and scientific." In Philosophy 3, the Critique...
...subject of pecuniary aid to students, discussed by the President in his late report, is not entirely disconnected with other affairs in the College which it was not the business of the report to dwell upon. The fact that the present system of pecuniary assistance is not a success reminds me of other things about which the same thing might be said. The trouble, as I see it, is that the underlying principle is wrong. The aid is given as a means, and is not made an end; it is bestowed as a crust is flung to a beggar...
