...work during the term, are to be envied. It is a common fault at Harvard for men to neglect the preparation of their daily work, and to depend almost entirely upon an unnatural amount of very hard and concentrated work just before examination. The bad effects of this manner of studying are so obvious, that they scarcely need mention, but to bring freshly before the mind of the student the great mistake made by so many in this direction, we will call attention to one or two of the most prominent evils of this form of procrastination...

If this were done, the comfort of occupants of rooms would be greatly enhanced, and it would be much more economical than the present manner. Of course each man would be compelled to pay a certain amount per year, but it would be found much cheaper here in Cambridge where such exorbitant prices are asked for coal...
