HARVARD CLUBS AIDED 61 STUDENTS IN PAST YEAR

In answer to the discussion which has been prevalent, that the beneficiaries of scholarships maintained by Harvard Clubs do not sufficiently distinguish themselves as scholars in College, the Alumni Bulletin publishes some statistic dealing with the honor men of 1916.
