...loss which the College suffered by the recent fire, it would probably be received with its present indebtedness; but, as matters now are, this can hardly be hoped for. The original cost of the boat-house was $5,000, its present indebtedness is $2,800; the tax is $78 per year.

At Williams College the poor students obtain excellent fare at $2.50 per week, while here the fare is poor and insufficient at $4 per week. It may be said that prices are much lower one hundred and fifty miles back in the country than near a large city. This is true; but it must also be considered that a club of three hundred...
