...even admitting these arguments, it seems to me that this plan would be a more advantageous and much surer means of support than any other that has yet been suggested. It was suggested that an assessment of a dollar a year upon every student in the University resident in Cambridge, and further a dollar a day for every day's residence in the infirmary beyond five days, might raise a sufficient income. Would not this be very uncertain as a means of support, however? One year it might provide sufficient funds another it might not, and the Corporation, never being...
Looking at it in every way this suggestion cannot but seem unfair to me. Would it not simply be a case of the many paying for the few? There are many students resident in Cambridge and the vicinity who always go home in case of illness, yet under such a system they would be forced to pay the same as those who live in California.

...does seem unfortunate and unnecessary that students should be obliged to stand or be turned away at interesting lectures, intended principally for them, on account of the thronging in of Cambridge citizens unconnected with the University. If the suggestion made in the communication should be followed, that a certain number of seats at every important lecture should be reserved until five minutes before the lecture begins, many students would often be spared the disappointment of being turned away from crowded lectures or of being obliged to stand...

The three-day scheme, beginning of necessity on Friday, since the finals do not end till then, and lasting through Monday, offers...
STUDENTS do not seem to be aware that at 3 Linden Street they can get a fine table d'hote dinner for only 50 cts. The cooking is strictly French and the stock as good as you can get anywhere. They can get you up a nice little dinner or supper too, any time, and you ought to patronize them...
