Cruikshank (1792-1878) was the first important British artist to make a living from book illustration. His father had been a caricaturist, and by the age of twelve, George had a job etching plates and filling in details for him. His firsthand knowledge of London's low life was to enrich Dickens' Oliver Twist for generations of readers (Cruikshank's Fagin, G. K. Chesterton once remarked, looked as if Fagin himself had done it). Few could recall Cruikshank's later illustrations for Uncle Tom's Cabin or the series of etchings entitled simply The Bottle...
...Bellboys won again later with a 41 to 7 win over the Dunster House natators. Adams vied for low position on the swimming ladder, with a stunted turnout of four swimmers, and losing two meets, one to Kirkland and the other to Winthrop...

A torrent of student demands for redress will only indicate that the University has botched its policy. What is now a rather low and indistinct undergraduate grumbling pointed in the general direction of University Hall could easily become an articulate chorus of howls.

Rent re-adjustments on the basis of room desirability, while badly needed, will not be enough. The University must stagger the fall increase itself, so that most of it is borne by those who can best afford it. This means holding as many rooms as possible in the low price-range, within reach of "marginal" students who even now are close to a financial chasm. The problem is admittedly difficult, but if the University takes considerate and forthright action to find the least painful solution, its good faith in rent policy will not be called into question...
