...book placed it beyond the reach of a large majority of the students. The hard times have interfered somewhat with the class photograph orders, so that the graduate no longer takes away a full album. In such a state of things what could be more acceptable than a cheap and convenient book containing full information about this College and the city in which it is situated...
...known fact that censure-marks and the like can be removed by depositing in the Dean's box a suitable petition; and yet this simple remedy is seldem adopted. This is caused, not by lack of excuses, for, since the hard times began, physician's certificates have been unusually cheap, but by the natural aversion all students feel towards U. 5.

...sizes, positions, and prices, - a variety, we should have supposed, sufficient to please the most fastidious. If the price of a room is three hundred dollars, and an applicant finds it exorbitant, the College kindly offers him a pleasant and sunny room for forty. There are dear rooms and cheap rooms, and each one can take his choice. The writer of the article in the Advocate makes an error of judgment when he compares Harvard's dormitories and prices unfavorably with those of other colleges. He says that the best rooms in Tufts are seventy-five dollars; but who would...
