There is no man in Cambridge who has made as much money from Harvard students as the very person who now is enraged at their efforts to supply themselves with needful articles at ordinary prices. And it is well known that fully twenty per cent. more is charged for books in Cambridge than in other places. The Co-operative Society, as all such institutions, has been formed with the best...
