...last Catalogue contains notice that all the rooms in Holworthy, with exception of those occupied by Proctors, will be charged this year a rent of $250. I should unhesitatingly commend this action of the Bursar if the post facto nature of the act were removed. To advertise one price, and, when the rooms are taken, to raise that price, is manifestly unjust. Two hundred and fifty dollars is not too much to be asked for Holworthy rooms, but I have looked in vain for a notice that the rent of other and very undesirable rooms - such as those...
...which happened to be opened when she went her rounds. Remonstrated with for neglect, she said that the College expected a new key to be provided by the occupant of each of the rooms under her care.

The co-operation of the Kentucky Geological Survey is promised to the Cumberland...
...understand from the Bursar that it is proposed to establish in Holyoke next year a janitor with a family. Occupants of rooms in the building who now employ men to build fires, etc., will be obliged to engage the janitor for those purposes. The occupants, moreover, who have washing done in Cambridge must have it done by the family. Or, in the words of a Boston paper, "Holyoke will be managed in every way like a first-class hotel, except that no meals will be served." The object of the proposed change is to exclude from the building persons...
