...when rooms in Thayer and Holyoke could not be heated above forty or fifty degrees, one of the crews had the hardihood to run up North Avenue, clad in the scanty and inadequate clothing of the gymnasium. The harm done by such needless exposure is two fold: 1st. As certain parts of the body are chilled, the circulation of the blood becomes irregular, and the heart is liable to ge affected.

From the nature of the business, it is impossible to clear out and sell everything at the end of each year ; a certain amount of stock left on hand is inevitable ; and if this stock is not the clear property of the society, but has to be "slaughtered" to pay debts due, the society must always be in an embarrassed and uncertain condition. Expecting to have to pay rent next year, the directors...
