...association. On the score of health, the Corporation cannot possibly find any excuse for using their prerogative. Nor is there any reason to believe that the expenses of the association would be increased by a change. The steward's salary, together with his perquisites, amounts to quite a handsome sum. Last year a man could have been procured for the same remuneration, who had large experience in catering for hotels, and who could bring recommendations from Parker. In these hard times there would probably be no difficulty in finding a good professional caterer to fill the position on the same...

...really does not strike us in that light. We would warmly, if we could, advise the College to take into its own hands the care of these bath-rooms, especially since they are the only ones we have; the same man might be employed, at a certain sum, to keep the hot water running without intermission during the whole of the College year; and the money that is paid by the students for the use of the baths should go to the College. This, we think, is a better plan than to have the bath-rooms, as they...
