...question of the evening, "Resolred, That the government should suppress trusts," was opened for the affirmative by Mr. G. A. Reisner '89. He said that the object of trusts is to secure greater profits in this way. The combination of capital, by producing on a large scale, reduces the cost of production, and lowers prices, till competitors are driven out of business by being undersold. When the complete control of the market is thus secured prices are raised without any limit except the greed of the trust. The very idea of a trust is to abolish competition. Owing...
...When the back nets were put up a year ago a sum was raised by subscription to pay the extra expense. Considering the many courts and the great number of players in college it would seem to be easy to pay the necessary expenses even at a much reduced scale of prices...
...while Professor Palmer calculates that almost one-quarter of each class spend between $450 and $650.

At Yale they have already foreseen the advantage of this by securing the services of a person, who is thoroughly competent to deal with the minor details and intricacies...
...vexed question of Memorial Hall fare, I should like to bring to general notice an interesting and instructive fact. Recently I was told by a friend that the place where he was boarding was being run on the same plan as Memorial Hall, though of course on an infinitesimal scale. A freshman had started the enterprise. He had secured rooms on Bow street; engaged table-ware, etc., and hired a cook and a waitress. He then issued notices and got up a table of twenty-four men (chiefly Law School men who had left Memorial). He buys the provisions himself...
