...laws of hospitality are sacred and cannot be broken without an injury to the community in which and for which we live. These laws call for a kind welcome and kind treatment-"nothing but peace and gentle visitation...

The two causes combined make the increase in price a very considerable item. Now to the student who must live on a comparatively small amount of money-and the number of such who come to Harvard is very large-the cost of board is the most important variable in expenses.

But since he was a poor man he was obliged to work nearly all night to support himself. He was summoned before...
