...sons' persistent labors, Benjamin masters a wretched twitch-sown farm, only to deed it away to the boys' flighty stepmother. This village wench marries, after Benjamin's death, a footless tippler who turns the five brothers out and lets the farm go to ruin. In years past four of the brothers had tried to escape the farm, two for Canada, one for the glamorous army, and another to marry his Jessie, but the soil lured them back.

Taxes are pushed up not only for the business and industrial interests but for all the residents of the city, who include the great majority of the Harvard teaching body.

In 1902 when the University had occasion to widen De Wolfe Street, President Eliot remarked that from then on Harvard had no intentions of attempting to reduce its tax bill. Even after the building of the Freshman Dormitories the college has continued...
