...been suggested. It was suggested that an assessment of a dollar a year upon every student in the University resident in Cambridge, and further a dollar a day for every day's residence in the infirmary beyond five days, might raise a sufficient income.

Harvard played...

But on the seventeenth of June, Bunker Hill Day, there will be races held by the New England Amateur Rowing Association, in which the Weld eight will be entered. The crews of the Riverside, Bradford, B. A. A. and Shawmut clubs will also compete, and from the appearance of the crews on the river, the Weld eight compares favorably with...
