...first place, the number of men who have plenty of money during the years which follow their graduation is comparatively small. The great majority need all the money which they can get to enable them to pursue their professional studies and to establish themselves in the world. It seems rather too much to ask such men to begin being benefactors to the College immediately after they graduate, and to tax themselves a certain amount annually for ten years to aid in its support. To be sure, it is easier to pay five dollars a year for ten years than...
When the trail is found, the pack close up, and follow it strictly. If, however, the hares are viewed at any part of the run, the trail may be disregarded, and the hares chased by the shortest route.

For instance, one hundred and seventy-five dollars is asked for a room on the ground-floor of Thayer, and also for one on the fourth floor. Considering the best of the rooms are cold, comfortless and undesirable, such a price is simply out of all proportion. As a result, there are now vacant nineteen rooms in this one building...
