EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: -The elevated railroad boom has set in, if we may believe what recently appeared in a Boston paper, and every man at Harvard wants to rejoice that the street cars which are now supposed to run [?] between Boston and Cambridge, are to be a thing of the past. For, who is there, that has never undergone the agony of sitting, half crushed-or, rather, owing to the unfortunate abundance of Cambridge females, of standing in the cold, crowded car, and peering frantically through the darkness in a vain attempt to discover the yard, which one never seems...
...class; and that whereas in 1874,60 per cent of the freshmen roomed in the yard, but 38 per cent. room there today The reason for this is, we think, the increasing eagerness with which any room in a college building is sought for.

Protection is antagonistic to commerce, we are told...

And even if we have a surplus revenue, it would not be the best thing to remove the duties. States are complaining of the difficulty of raising means to support their government, the cry even comes from so rich a state as New York. Let this surplus then, be distributed by some fair apportionment among the several states. In closing the lecturer thanked the audience for their kind attention during...
