Washington writes to W. W. Baker, professor of Greek at Haverford in Pennsylvania. 'We are anxious to end our school year free of debt. . .' he continues: 'There are few institutions in the country where the students do more to help themselves than is true here; they provide the cost of their board, books, traveling expenses, clothing etc, but they are unable to pay the cost of tuition which is $50 a year.'
