...students, increased space for administration, and a better reading room. He says: "It is a singular fact that, at a time when the building of libraries has become a favorite form of public benefaction, Harvard has not received any great gift for a library building. It is useless to expect an ample equipment and a generous building from any other source." In summarizing the requirements, Professor Lane puts beauty first because he believes "that the Library does not take the place it should in the life of the University and of the individual student unless it is something more than...
...their tickets, it speaks well for their sense of honor that so few of them have yielded. It was hoped that the large number of seats constructed around the field would effectually check speculation, and to that end the management deliberately put money into seats it did not expect to sell.

When season tickets are sold, moreover, as they now are, to any one from Chelsea to South Boston we must expect such mercenary methods as have been seen on Soldiers Field this year. At the Carlisle game especially one person is known to have used five season tickets time and again, taking in parties of four, collecting the tickets and going out for another expedition. In addition, this same man can get Yale seats on his season tickets and sell them at a premium...
