...draw for rooms which many men in college would be glad to get. It does not seem to us that it is anything but just to ask that men who have been in College for from one to three years, and have contributed to its support during that time, should have some advantages given them in a matter of this sort over those who are just entering. But the fact probably is, that considerations of justice have probably never been thought of by the authorities. The reasons which induce the College to offer good rooms to sub-Freshmen...
...Library; there are many opportunities for working in one's own room, when going over to Gore Hall would be absurd. Again, many of the reserved books are such as one reads in spare moments in the evening; if a book can be taken out for a length of time there are a hundred chances to finish it.

...divided into two divisions, - a philological and a mathematical. Instruction consists only in lectures, and attendance is not compulsory; neither prayers nor church attendance is considered a necessary part of a university education. In general, it may be said that Russian universities are modelled after the German fashion. The time of the course is not prescribed, although an attendance of at least four years is expected from a student...
