...College for the investment, Mr. Blakey is to hire the building on a lease of five years, at 10 per cent of the whole cost to the College, the College repairing. This, or something very like it, Mr. Blakey is willing to do, if the clubs decide, in the next year's agreement, to pay him $ 16.50 a m m, instead of $ 15.00. That is $ 1.50 for the use of lockers and bath-room...
...last spring was very creditable; and, if money is forthcoming, the Eleven this season bids fair to be quite as good as last year's. Comparatively little has been done for the support of the Club by any class now in College, either with men or money. Not one cent has been subscribed by either the Freshmen or the Sophomore class, and to these we look for aid. An attractive shingle will be procured, and will be ready for delivery by the 1st of April. This is a particularly good chance for men who have as yet few such insignia...
...insist upon it as a necessity. If we do not take some step in this direction, if we calmly submit to seeing the requirements for admission slowly added to, if we patiently listen to the announcement that the requirements for a degree will advance first from 33 1/3 per cent to 50, next to 75, finally to 100, - if we do this, we may as well remove to Somerville at once. But the membership of the Ignorance Club I would limit; in my opinion it should be made something to be striven for, and it should consist of not more...
...themes and forensics are very good things, but, as they are marked at present, their imposition is simply a bore, with few good results. Three hundred marks are given for six themes on a scale of seven thousand five hundred; so that a falling off of twenty-five per cent in the excellence of all one's themes would reduce one's general average only one per cent. It is scarcely to be expected that a student should devote fifteen hours to writing and rewriting a theme, when twelve hours' less application would make a difference of but one sixth...
...easily proved by comparing city prices with those demanded here. Bad as this is, it cannot be compared to the cold-blooded fraud perpetrated on us at the bank. Here for cashing all checks that are not indorsed by the Steward a deduction of almost one half per cent is made, and for this no excuse is offered. It is understood to be merely a "shave," without the slightest pretence of right or justice on its side. It was suggested, in defence of the bank, that New York exchange was not as valuable to them as money in Cambridge. This...
