...rooms in Hollis and Stoughton, that are now in such active demand. A number of good cheap rooms could thus be added to the capacities of the college, to the great appreciation of large numbers of students who are now shut out of college buildings and thrown upon the tender mercies of Cambridge lodging-house keepers. There is a great need, too, of cheap rooms, for the tendency has been to increase the expenses of Harvard by erecting high priced dormitories, the prices of rooms in which are in most instances beyond the means of those men who strive...

Who has not observed the breathless interest with which the entrance of any procession on the stage is now greeted? Perhaps it is the solemnity, the grandeur of a marching...
...waiters at Memorial was handed over to the tender mercies of the law last evening. It seems he was discharged by Mr. Balch, but before leaving undertook to break into the place where the waiters' clothes were kept, whereupon he was promptly removed by the steward. As he continued to be troublesome two officers were summoned and given charge over...
