EDITORS HARVARD HERALD : I noticed in your yesterday's issue two communications relating to the winter meetings of the H. A. A. In regard to the one signed "Impecunious," I would say that the price of reserved seat tickets is the same this year as last, viz., seventy-five cents, including the entrance ticket, or fifty cents to a member of the H. A. A., who is admitted on his membership ticket. The reasons why the accociation needs money were stated in an editorial in your yesterday's issue...
EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: The managers of the H. A. A., who have generally conducted affairs most admirably and successfully, have, in the opinion of many, shown some indiscretion in setting so high a price as announced upon reserved seats for the ladies' days of the winter meetings.

Contestants will be allowed to buy two tickets apiece on Wednesday, Feb. 28, between 2 and 3 P. M., in 36 Thayer, provided they pay at the same time their entrance...
Besides the direct advantages reaped by the members of the society, all the other members of the university, and, indeed, all the inhabitants of Cambridge, enjoy in common with them, the general fall in the prices of small stationery and like articles. For by the extremely low charges made for such goods as examination books and all kinds of paper, the society has forced down the prices in all other stores, so that instead of the exhorbitant prices which prevailed before the foundation of the society, and which in part led to it, there has actually prevailed among the retail...
