...firm of H. H. Tuttle & Co. is no longer the agent of the society for boots and shoes. Its name is to be struck from the list of affiliated tradesmen, and members are not entitled to any discount at the store of this firm. In its place, the firm of Graham & Nichols, 10 School St., Boston, is to be put on the list of affiliated tradesmen. The discount is 10 per cent. Messrs. Graham & Nichols are successors to Thos. Powers & Co., who were formerly at 10 School St. They sell boots and shoes ready-made, and also make them...

May no restrictive policy or spirit ever separate the university which bears John Harvard's name from that laborious, frugal, self-respecting part...
Speaking of our Co-operative Society, the Dartmouth says: The fact that Dartmouth is situated at a distance from any large town having much rivalry among its tradesmen, would, to a certain extent, prevent our formation of an association run on exactly the same plan: but yet in very many things co-operation among students would greatly lessen expenses. Books, stationery, furniture, coal, tobacco and all such standard goods might, through an association, be procured at wholesale rates, and furnished to students at much lower prices than they are now obliged to pay. The matter is well worth investigation...
