...game with such manifest advantages, it is plain, should enjoy the protection and bounty of the authorities of the colleges. The generosity which recommends laying out new play-grounds should first make the land already laid out accessible to all students.

Before a man can receive pecuniary assistance from the college he must submit to an examination by the Dean and must sign papers in which he declares his need.

It tells how sixty years ago college men enjoyed few of the comforts we enjoy to-day. There were few rooms whose floors were covered with carpets. Their furniture consisted of a pine bed, a washstand and a few coarse chairs. Men had to rise for a 6 o'clock chapel, from which no cuts were allowed. They...
