...board free for his services. The bill of fare is very much like ours at Memorial-steaks or chops, and tea and coffee for breakfast, the same kind of luncheon, and the same dinner, except that there is no fish, and there is one less vegetable, I think. And what do you think it all costs? It varies from $3.48 to $3.50 a week! And the boarders say that they are given perfect satisfaction as regards the quality of the food, the cleanliness of the place and the efficiency of the service. The enterprise has been running successfully for some...
...hope that "H. H. D." will not think I differ from him in fundamentals. I heartily agree; only whereas he says to the faculty: "You must begin." I insist that both sides must begin, and I still think the fate of the proposal in the conference committee augurs rather ill for the student side.

The extracts quoted below are all from gentlemen connected with the University...
...matches in a week are quite enough for a player. The best ones are all professionals, and get paid by the match. I have got L2 for a match when it was a big one, but L1 is good wages for a game. And do you know, the women think foot-ball is a great thing. If there is a match on Saturday afternoon, they can get their husbands to go, and then they are not spending their week's wages in drink. They can only spend the six-pence it costs to see the game...
