...series of five popular orchestral concerts. The orchestra will be the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra of forty members, Mr. Bernhard Listemann leader. This orchestra comprises some of the most eminent performers in the city, and Mr. Listemann has recently shown himself to be an able leader. Distinguished soloists will also participate. The programmes will consist of works and selections suited to all tastes. Season tickets can now be had at Sever's at $4. The price has been purposely placed within the reach of all, and let us, therefore, as students, promptly do our share towards the support of the enterprise...

For instance, one hundred and seventy-five dollars is asked for a room on the ground-floor of Thayer, and also for one on the fourth floor. Considering the best of the rooms are cold, comfortless and undesirable, such a price is simply out of all proportion. As a result, there are now vacant nineteen rooms in this one building; for no one - not even a Freshman - will pay so dear, when...
