...these room rent varies the most. At Amherst, a student pays from $40 to $125 for a single room; at Williams, $25 to $100; at Yale, $50 to $140; while at Harvard the rent varies all the way from $44 to $300, with very few desirable rooms for less than $150. Of course, if two students room together, the expense is reduced one half. The difference in the second item, board, is not nearly so great, the large numbers at the city colleges rendering co-operation much easier, and enabling the students to procure better board at a less cost...
...much for the absolutely necessary expenses. What a student will actually spend, depends entirely upon himself. The limit might be placed at between $4,000 and $5,000 at Harvard, and much less at other colleges where the temptation to spend money is less. Mr. Thwing, in an article in Scribner's Monthly, several years ago, placed the average annual expenses of a student at the various colleges as follows: Harvard, $1,000; Yale, $1,000; Amherst, $700; Princeton, $600; Brown, Bowdoin or Williams, $500. While the average Yale man may not spend as much as the average Harvard...
...first night of Genevieve Ward, in "Henry VIII," at Melbourne, was what is called a "student night," and the gallery, usually given over to the possession of poorer play goers, was crammed with towering collars, white linen, and the stylishy cut clothes of hundreds who, upon less important occasions, sedately take their seats in the dress circles of the stalls. The medicals had scaled the heights for the purpose of making a demonstration, and upon Miss Ward's appearance they unrolled their banners of homage, in the shape of the black velvet flag with skull and crossbones of the "meds...
...liable to the least suspicion of partiality or worse motives in judging. For the honor of the college would be at stake to choose a representative who would not jeopardize its reputation. Again, compare the alumnus with the professional umpire. Is it reasonable to suppose that there is less honesty and impartiality in a leading college man who is thoroughly known and has borne an honorable name in the college world, than in a professional umpire, who is employed simply on recommendation, who looks upon his task of umpiring purely as a means of money-getting, and who is often...
...most interesting walks in the vicinity of Cambridge, is the walk to Tufts College. Although Tufts is our nearest neighbor, it receives far less attention from us than many other colleges which are more widely separated from us. The college buildings are situated upon "a terminal moraine" as the proud man of Tufts never neglects an opportunity of telling his amazed visitor. The buildings are modern and very convenient, and were it not for their exposed situation during the winter, though this is undoubtedly partially compensated for by their very pleasant situation during the warmer months, the dormitories of Tufts...
