...night's work. This is too little, and by an hour's study after returning to his room the student loses most of the benefit of his exercise. The expense of keeping the gymnasium lighted and heated an hour longer could not be much; it seems a pity to save money in such a way. The benefit derived from it would be many-fold the expense, especially at the present time, when the students are working hard in preparation for the midyears, and need above all things the benefit of sound sleep...

That this care is used we do not believe, or rather to put it in a better form, we do not believe that sufficient care is generally exercised in the use of the books.

Already the two are practically one in all respects save that while Cambridge is more and more reserved for use as a residence suburb and a university town, Boston is more and more becoming a commercial metropolis and center of business. The local business of Cambridge has of late years indeed been of very slight account. Even retail tradesmen...
