Financial difficulties are especially troublesome to the Freshman of limited means at Harvard unless he is sufficiently brilliant to obtain some form of University aid. Statistics show that new men should not expect to earn more than $300 by part time work during the school year or the chance of academic success is drastically endangered...

I uphold the saying "Rely on your brakes instead of your horn," but that axiom does not always apply. How does noiseless Mr. Brown expect to pass a lumbering motor truck on a narrow road?

With the whole establishment running, Saratogans expect 25,000 visitors to take the Saratoga cure each year and spend some $5,000,000 in the city where heretofore bank accounts fattened only during the August races...
