But, on a sudden, there was a loud, angry shout from a stentorian voice as Tom Hill jumped in among the pursuers, who were just on the point of conquering the bewildered animal.
"For shame.

Take one of your size." The boys saw the point, were filled with mortification, desisted, and allowed the poor creature to go in peace.
The boys generally boarded in the College Commons, where they could board for $2.25 a week on one side, and on the other called "starvation commons" for $1.75 a week.

In the latter they had meat only every other day.

A few of the sons of the wealthier families boarded in private houses where the rate of board varied from $3 to $3.50 a week.

The rooms were furnished very simply, almost always without carpets, though in rare instances the floors would be covered with a cheap carpet which did not last very well under the wear and tear of boyish occupation.
