While there are no exact figures on the total income under the present system, it is estimated that such a change as this would not substantially alter the amount earned. 2. The financial affairs of student businesses could be opened to the inspection of University Hall. A bond, similar to the one required of applicants for admission, would assure financial responsibility in this case. 3. Similar to the second plan, but still more paternalistic is Yale...
