...same old subject, GAS IN THE ENTRIES, appear in your columns. I think I can recall some complaints on this head in last year's papers, but my staircase is as dark and gloomy as ever, after 6 P. M., and I continue to nurse the same number per week of broken bones and bruised joints. I pay $300 for the use of a small room for 38 weeks, nearly $8 per week, - a very steep rent, considering the building never cost the College a cent, and the rents are all clear gain.
