...extortion practised by Cambridge boarding-house keepers, whose prices rise year by year as they see each freshman class larger than the last, more than ever at their mercy from want of sufficient accommodations under college rule. The most pressing need of the college, according to the president's report, is more unencumbered money for running expenses. The treasurer's report states that the percentage of returns for capital invested was smaller for 1883 than the year before, and that this decrease is likely to continue as long as there is so much spare capital seeking investment.

...give some definite idea of what its policy in the matter of college sports at present is or is likely to become in the future.

The secretary suggests that the next legislature be asked to appropriate $40,000 to be spent annually at the discretion of the regents, and also...
...hardly worth while taking up anew the discussion suggested by President Eliot's report as to the matter of college athletics as a training school for "professional" athletics. Very few new suggestions have appeared as a result of the discussion. With the majority of the supporters of college athletics, it is a matter of sincere regret no doubt, that of late years there has been so many cases of the entrance of college athletes into the professional arena. We certainly share in that feeling of regret. And yet there is undoubtedly another side to the question. Professional sports in general...
