...students boarding in the expensive hall and those in the less expensive. If the first of these statements was correct probably the second would be true; but the first is not correct. The expenses necessary to the new hall over and above those at Memorial are only about one thousand dollars a year. Even supposing that at the start there were but three hundred boarders in the hall, the increase in price to each one would on this score amount to less than ten cents a week. This difficulty is only a fancied...
Suppose that such an arrangement were put into effect. Memorial would then accommodate about one thousand and seventy men, and another hall, on the same principle, would make the total number of men accommodated about twenty-one hundred and forty. With the membership in the University at three thousand, thirteen hundred men wish Memorial board. The two halls together would, if the same ratio were preserved, be ample for the University with a membership of forty-nine hundred. When the University has attained such a growth, it will have largely to increase all its facilities and be changed in many...
Harvard has today twenty-six hundred students who live in Cambridge and, if anything like the present rate of growth is maintained, there will be four thousand within a very few years. Half of the students who now live in Cambridge would without much question board at Memorial if there was room for them, and there is no reason to suppose that this proportion will be largely changed in the future. Within a few years, therefore, there will probably be two thousand students who will wish Memorial Hall board or an equivalent. Since thirteen hundred is the utmost limit...
...editors of the American Law Review and Register have offered two prizes of seventy-five and twenty-five dollars to the two members of the graduating class of the Harvard or other American Law School who shall write the two best annotations between two and three thousand words in length. The subject of each annotation must deal with but one point of law which has been brought up before an American court within the last twelve years. The two articles winning the prizes will be published in the August number of the Law Review...
...interests of the country and who do not concern themselves with any duties of government further than they find these useful in advancing themselves and their friends politically, or in getting money. Even now there is encamped in one of the beautiful valleys of Maryland an army of eight thousand vagabonds who are marching to Washington with no further purpose than to force Congress to pass laws for their own welfare, not for the good of the country. And these vagabonds may be said to be a representative body of American people, for always since the founding of the nation...
