I said that our rooms were preferable to those at Yale, because there the old buildings were musty and shabby, and in the new ones steam-pipes were substituted for open hearths, which is a disadvantage that all Harvard students will appreciate.

In the new everything is so new as to give a cold and cheerless aspect to the rooms. Further, in the new buildings at Yale the rooms have no open grates, but are heated by close and unhealthy steam-pipes. Is it better...
