...higher order, such as putting back pieces of bric-a-brac in their places. There is one evil, however, incident to the new system, that will grow greater rather than less, in the course of time. Why should the Freshmen in Matthews and Holyoke be obliged to pay the janitor exorbitant prices for work that a scout would do for at least half as much money? We ask this question not without a knowledge of facts. It will be to the advantage of the class of '82, and to all that may come after them, to have this matter thoroughly...
...hall and one in the gymnasium proper. A track 5 feet wide, and with a circuit of about 250 feet, occupies the gallery. The rest of the floor is taken up with a meeting-room, 26 by 70 feet, a boxing and fencing room of the same dimensions, a janitor's room, store-room, and a gymnasium, 18 by 78 feet, for hydraulic rowing-weights...

At Sever's we are charged an extortionate price for our text-books, because the College destroys all competition...
