...tenants, who take possession of their rooms for the first time this year, to do the work for them such as is now done by the so-called 'College men,' consisting generally of blacking boots, making fires, carrying coal and water, doing errands, etc., if these tenants employ any one to do such work...
...COMMITTEE.The Executive Committee shall have the full management and control of the property and affairs of the Association.
