...auditor in computing the price for this term, that the cost of board for January, and the few days of December which come into this term, was more than $4.28 (the reported price for December and January). Moreover, a settlement of accounts for last term shows that the surplus fund was increased out of money raised for bills payable. This leaves room for the conclusion that the cost for January and December was $4.28 while the cost for January was more than that - December, that is to say, may have cost less than $4.28. I say "leaves room." It does...
EDITORS HARVARD HERALD : I have just seen a letter in this morning's HERALD in which the secretary of '83 is taken to task by one of the class for not having begun the canvass for subscriptions to the class fund. This letter seems to me in questionable taste for several reasons.

EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: Isn't it almost time that the senior class should hear from its secretary? In former years blanks have been issued and the collection of the class fund had been begun long before the mid-years, in some cases even before Christmas.

To leave the entire work,- the collection of the funds and the writing of the class lives-until...
...York Harvard Club met at Delmonico's Saturday evening and discussed the establishment of a fund, the interest on which shall be used to aid meritorious students in Harvard University. It is proposed to raise by subscription at least $10,000, the annual income from which would be $600. With this money it is thought that five or six students in Harvard could be materially assisted. The scheme was warmly urged by Messrs. R. A. Brick, C. C. Beaman. W. A. Purrington, and others, who expressed the belief that such a fund, created by the New York Club, would...
