...seems to me that it is not right for the Corporation to cast aside the policy of having College dormitories merely because they do not pay in round dollars. Any man who has lived in the Yard for a couple of years values what he got there more than a good many dollars. The College must lose money and always will do so as long as it is to be a College which is loved at all. To be a real College it must give more than it gets, and the idea of trying to make the books balance...
...population of New York, he said, is increasing so rapidly, and the value of property is accordingly becoming so high, that the poor are obliged to pay about one-third of their yearly incomes in rent. Usually, in the more crowded sections, there is about one family to a room, no matter whether the family is of three or ten members. This congestion of population has led to a death-rate four times as high as when families lived in flats of four or five rooms each...

With separate tickets for each sport, the one or two more fortunate ones draw the whole student body to their games; all the rest draw from a few hundred down to a handful. At present the relative importance of a sport should not be judged...

Outsiders are only too glad to pay to see College athletics, and it is only right that they should. This seems to me a legitimate way for the University to get financial aid for fostering general athletics and securing these improvements. JOHN. J. ROWE...
...minor teams, which are on their own resources, have to economize strictly, but there is no doubt whatever that expenditures for the football and baseball teams, if not for crew or track, could be cut down largely by careful and business-like management, without hurting the teams. The pay of coaches, if they are the right sort, is I believe a legitimate expense, and a necessary one if we are to have first-class teams; but extravagance in training tables in the buying and use of uniforms and other supplies, and duplication and loose ends of various sorts...
