...rail trip to New York and return over the Boston and Providence R. R., if fifty-five round-trip tickets be taken, and if they be taken at one time. Since over fifty signed for New York last week, an arrangement has been made by which all may pay for their tickets before tomorrow (Tuesday) P. M. at seven o'clock. If the required number pay, the tickets can be had on Wednesday A. M.; if not, the money will be refunded at that time. Each person paying and signing should state the length of time he will be away...
...proved by the facts that twenty-six of its members have reached the B. A. degree (twelve of them in honors) and three the M. A. degree, and that there are now eighty-four students in residence.

It costs a student at Yale or Harvard from $1200 to $2000 a year if he is going to be in full rapport with his class. It becomes college trustees...
Here we ask, why is it that Harvard men are obliged to pay full fares on the railroad, while the students from most other colleges get large reductions from the regular rates? That we do not get the reduction given to other colleges can be no fault of the railroads, for it is their business to make money; and if we do not ask for the reduction, it is not very reasonable to suppose that they are going to extend...
