...Harvard preparatory schools of the Eastern States generally have the advantage from the start. Scholarships being regarded as prizes for high marks are often eagerly sought after whether needed or not. Many a student with sufficient assistance from home is glad to supplement his funds and thus live in luxury with the added honor of having his name printed among the holders of scholarships. During my own course I never ventured to apply for a scholarship. I knew that it would be useless. My marks were not high enough. I believe, however, that none of my instructors would have denied...
...author of "College Expenses" states that of the two lowest grades together-men spending less than $810-there are about thirty men from each class; whereas Prof. Palmer, in answer to the question "What is a competent allowance for a man coming to Harvard?" says: "If he will live closely, carefully, yet with full regard to all that is required, he may do so, with nearly half his class, on not more than $800."

With this end in view, he has rented a hall near the place where the workingmen live, and holds free discussions there every Thursday evening on such subjects as the tariff, trade-unions, convict and Chinese labor, the eight hour system, and strikes. These meetings are well attended, the men show considerable intelligence, and after a little while are able to argue very well. He has, besides, regular classes...
...have received complaints about the failure of the CRIMSON delivery boys to leave the paper at the rooms of certain subscribers. We have investigated the matter, and find that nearly all the complaints come from men who live in boarding-houses. The landladies of these boarding-houses object, it seems, to having the delivery boy enter at such an early hour, and consequently the doors are locked and the boy is given the alternative of leaving the papers on the steps outside, or of not leaving them at all. In either case the subscribers do not get their papers...
