ROOM AND BOARDS

Shoulders are sore and heads not quite clear this morning in many quarters of the Yard. A long trip in a cold rumble seat, a rather late evening somewhere-in-Boston, not quite enough blankets and no mattress at all do not form quite the proper prelude for a holiday. That nevertheless is the program of a large percentage of New Haven visitors when they come to Cambridge every odd fall.

Many institutions, including recently Yale itself, have made a definite effort to find proper accomodations for the undergraduates of visiting colleges and have made arrangements for their occupancy at very reasonable rates. The fact that there are several hotels in the Boston district does not in any way excuse Harvard from trying to find reasonably priced rooms in Cambridge for her visitors and giving these facilities adequate publicity. The high prices of the hotels and the definitely restricted number of their rooms place an obligation upon some Harvard organization to put at the disposal of her visitors some sort of accomodation intermediate between that offered by the study floor and the de Luxe Hotel suite to be reserved two weeks in advance.
