There was published in today's CRIMSON a communication attacking a plan suggested a short time ago for the support of the projected infirmary. This plan was to provide an adequate yearly income for the infirmary by making an additional charge of $5.00 upon the term bill of each student. The arguments used against it were based upon the fact that under such a system the many would be paying for the few; that there are many who go home in case of illness, a number who, having plenty of money, would prefer not to go to the infirmary...

...short time ago the CRIMSON, in an article on the proposed infirmary, cited several plans for its support which are under discussion. One of these, which was referred to as being favored by the authorities, was that of making a charge of $5.00 over and above the tuition fee of each student...
