I have already stated that there are two funds available for this purpose at Cambridge, viz. the Beneficiary Fund of the College, yielding an income of thirteen or fourteen hundred dollars, and the *' Loan Fund," yielding an income somewhat less. These funds are by us distributed without regard to sect or party ; but our University is entirely without the range of the great educational charities. One student only at Cambridge, at the present time, as far as is known to me, receives aid from any... One of them. Now there is a class of young, whom it would be very desirable to help beyond the extent of our present means. Young men of rare talent and promise ; who, though barely able to get along with the assistance of public and private bounty, are com- pelled to make efforts and seek occupations by which their progress is delayed and often their health impaired. I know such cases. Sir ; they have painfully excited my deepest sym- pathies. I have known instances of young men, of the finest powers and the most exemplary characters, supporting them- selves for fifty or sixty cents a week, and I have scarcely dared ask myself the question, how the twenty-one meals are to be got out of this sum.
