...heating, ventilating and sanitary arrangements are as perfect as modern science can make them. There will be hot and cold water throughout the building, and every stairway will contain a freight elevator. The fireplaces in the studies will be furnished with the Jackson ventilating grate, which receives cold air from a flue rising from the basement. This fresh air enters the room above the grate and ventilates the room, thus obviating the necessity of opening the windows in extremely cold weather. Steam heat will be used in the hallways and lavatories...

American freight rates are 1 1-8 cents per ton per mile, and are the lowest in the world...
...ordinary passer-by, it would seem as if the little Cambridge "muckers," had far more use and enjoyment out of the college yard than the students. A while ago the path from the library to Grays Hall was monopolized by "bobs" loaded with precious freight in the shape of "muckers" young and old, enjoying a pleasant coast. Now there is not a smooth strip of ice in the yard on which a mob of Cambridge youths do not slide during the entire...
