This is a great mistake, as a moderately careful man can go for the whole summer, and live comfortably for $250, which will cover all expenses. The price for a return ticket, on one of what are considered second-rate lines, is from $110 to $140.

Does the Bursar consider that in this way our enormous gas bills will be done away with, and this burden placed on his shoulders? It cannot be. How pleasant, after enjoying life in Boston under the cover of darkness, to return to Cambridge and find the Yard as light as day, which will obviate our difficulty in finding the walks and the key-holes of our doors. Another great gain will be in changing the hour of recitations, for they can be held as well at midnight...
