...annoyance, living as we do so near the city, where we can obtain what we wish at much more reasonable prices without very much extra trouble. Here we see the true student-nature, always grumbling and complaining, but never taking active measures for improvement. But even if laziness does prevent any endeavors to put a stop to these extortions, it is well worth while to come to a realizing sense about them...
