...much it has done toward cheapening the price of board in Cambridge. To be sure, there has been good ground for complaint in the past, but only let the old boarders return, let them take a personal interest in the welfare of the association, instead of heaping reproach upon the directors, and all may run smoothly yet, the board will be better and the price lower. The first important measure for the committee, or whoever has the care of such matters, is to prosecute a strict inquiry as to the cause for the present stampede, and if any person...

To his intense astonishment, they did n't slink out of the room abashed and ashamed. They only said that he looked so pious he ought to lead them in prayer; and they made...
...heard no more than the newspaper accounts of this difficulty of the unfair light in which the journals placed the matter before the public. We cannot repeat too often to those who are not acquainted with the &Phi. B. K. Society that the character of its members is above reproach for quietness and orderly conduct, and we are glad to record the reprimand passed by the Police Commissioners upon the uncalled-for brutality of the officer. In future, it may teach policemen to distinguish between gentlemen and roughs, in their attempts to keep, the peace...
