...board free for his services. The bill of fare is very much like ours at Memorial-steaks or chops, and tea and coffee for breakfast, the same kind of luncheon, and the same dinner, except that there is no fish, and there is one less vegetable, I think. And what do you think it all costs? It varies from $3.48 to $3.50 a week! And the boarders say that they are given perfect satisfaction as regards the quality of the food, the cleanliness of the place and the efficiency of the service.

...giving seminars and private instruction in branches which they know little about. Their principal victims are, of course, freshmen; and one case in particular has come to my notice of a graduate giving seminars in subjects which he was utterly unfit to teach.

I speak of this simply to warn freshmen against going to seminars indiscriminately. Let me add that I am not in any way a rival to seminar givers...
...CRIMSON takes the liberty of publishing a few extracts from letters received by the Boston Globe in reply to the three questions on journalism-1, what is your opinion of the journalism of to-day? 2, how do you think the tone of the modern press can be improved? 3, what is your ideal of a newspaper? The extracts quoted below are all from gentlemen connected with the University...
