To prove that this latter fact is clearly so we have only to cite the case of one of the dormitories in the yard. Take Matthews for an example. This building cost, twelve years ago, about $100,000, perhaps a little more. Its net returns for the year 1883 were nearly $10,000, almost 10 per cent on the capital invested. If this has been...
