Secondly they make us incur a loss of $1,500, the amount realized for several years past at the Thanksgiving game, upon which we have been relying to meet our financial agreements. Last year it was played in Cambridge. The receipts from the game were, as we are informed, some $1,200, all of which went to Harvard. It does not seem just that the Harvard faculty, by an arbitrary action based on reasons which to say the least, will admit of discussion, should at this late hour, after all contracts had been made, cause so great loss...

...expense of the hall would not be amiss. The reason the directors gave for taking away our soothing mocha was that it was too expensive. But I fear that they have but an ill appreciation of economy. While we cannot have our cup of coffee, since it would incur the enormous cost of seven cents per week, still some favored gentlemen have the privilege of a private room, which entails the extra expense of gas, keeping the room clean, etc. Since, by personal observation, there are five or six empty tables in the hall, why must we bear this expense...
