...fair equivalent for their money to the business men of Boston and Cambridge. Those who prepared the Advertiser's Tabular View at the beginning of each half-year were able, no doubt, to influence the advertisers without deception. They said that the students had to consult these tables two or three times a day for at least a week after the beginning of each term, and therefore they were tacked up in every room and remained there the year through; and suggested that by the use of small type, enamel, red and bronze inks, a Tabular View could be printed...
...have written this for two reasons: first, because legitimate advertising in the College will become worthless if business establishments are continually canvassed by irresponsible parties; second, what is of more importance, the honor of the College is certainly at stake if public opinion shall excuse swindling. We all have a sympathy for such peccadilloes as breaking windows or "ragging" signs, though even they are objectionable on the score of puerility; at any rate, there is in them neither meanness nor avarice nor downright dishonesty, only an effervescence of deviltry.

The first plan is to meet each club separately at some city equidistant from the two colleges. This would necessitate an outlay of money rather larger than desirable, and would also consume time which would be hard...
...will deny that the gift of Mr. Thayer was generous and judicious, that there should be in Cambridge an institution where poor students can obtain good food at small price. Acknowledging these facts, we must at the same time set forth what we regard to be the two serious faults of the Club. One arises from the nature of its constitution; the other from the natural increase in the number of members, which cannot be helped, and from the neglect of the Faculty, which could be helped...
