Squibb, '81, secretary; Bradley, '82, treasurer; Robert Sturgis...
...like articles. For by the extremely low charges made for such goods as examination books and all kinds of paper, the society has forced down the prices in all other stores, so that instead of the exhorbitant prices which prevailed before the foundation of the society, and which in part led to it, there has actually prevailed among the retail dealers of stationery in Cambridge a rivalry as to which should sell these articles at the lowest price...
