Price of board per week, $4.62.

THE unusually high price of board at Memorial, $4.62 a week for the last month, is owing to two causes: (1) the quality of the board, which has been much better than in previous years; (2) the rise in the price of provisions. For example, eggs cost last year 13 cents a dozen, this year 22 cents, while all meats have risen one cent a pound over the price of last year. Coal, which forms a large item in the expenses, costs this year $5.83, last year only $3.40. In addition to all this, the fact that the Hall was opened a day earlier than ever before, increased the expenses also. As prices are now on the decline, it rate, $4.00 a week.
