...Weld, or Holyoke, the average is from one hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty dollars for the school year. Beck Hall rooms rent at from four to six hundred dollars for one suite unfurnished. There is every variety displayed in the furnishing of these rooms, from the plain necessities of life to the most elegant and costly furniture. On the whole, the taste displayed is very good, a large proportion of the apartments being expensive in their appointments. One of the finest rooms is insured for five thousand dollars, and there is one other which is even more...
...referee would not allow. The crowning point is reached, however, when it boldly states that "four minutes before the time had expired, Mr. Peace declared the game finished, " when "it seemed as if Yale must make a touchdown, so near was the ball to the goal line." This plain statement to the effect that Mr. Peace cheated, would, from any other source than a Yale paper, be deemed a gross and inexcusable insult.

Truly it seems as though some remedy were...
...various sister colleges and compare them with our own less pretentions, but very useful representative. Yale's principal annual is the well known Banner which will shortly appear for the forty-second time, having been started in 1842. By the Harvard man, who is accustomed to the plain simplicity of the Index, the artistic part of the Banner is not likely to be appreciated. Almost all of the various eating clubs have a place in its pages, and claims a cut, while many of the societies and athletic organizations head their lists with symbolic head pieces. To be sure many...
