Once let the Dining Association stop, and then we shall realize how much we owe to it, and not until then will the students see how much it has done toward cheapening the price of board in Cambridge.

It seems that the moment anything is found it is thrown among the unclaimed articles down stairs, where any one can help himself to what he pleases.
