...around". Neither did it imply that upperclassmen have some sentiment about breaking an established attachment with the Georgian. The CRIMSON contended, and to date finds no good reason for the withdrawal of that contention, that a disproportionately high weekly rate requiring an absurdly large number of meals to be eaten in the House will work hardship on many students. It pointed particularly to the fact that this financial pressure will bear more severely upon men of moderate means than upon the wealthy. It still thinks that such a situation is in accord neither with the spirit of democracy...
...famed Laddie Boy; Rob Roy, Wisconsin sheepherding collie who disliked the White House elevator, who stole dainties from the Red Room tea table and was ever to be seen at the President's side. One Thanksgiving Rebecca, raccoon, was sent to the White House to be eaten, but the First Lady could not bear to kill her, built a pen, found a mate (Reuben) who disliked Rebecca and eventually escaped.

But just as he is at the peak of pleasure over this triumph, a more talented friend suggests that if he had also eaten all breakfasts in the House, he could have done so at the slight additional cost of seventy cents, for a flat $10.50 charge is made to those who eat twenty one meals per week in the House...
...Houses. That means 60 cents a meal. Few undergraduates eat breakfasts costing 60 cents. Hence, as pointed out elsewhere in this paper, for all those students who cannot afford to waste money freely the charge amounts to a requirement that every single luncheon and dinner be eaten in the House. That is a requirement at once putting a violent check to the whole spirit of independence of choice at Harvard, and making freedom depend more than ever upon the amount of money an undergraduate can afford to throw away...
