"College Ices"
Not sure what they were, but they appear to have been popular around 1905-1910: http://www.shorpy.com/node/16485
I wondered about that, too...
According to this:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/college%20ice
…it's a New England regionalism for a sundae. Maybe because the ice cream gets all fancied up the way a person does when they go to college?
Anyway, Imma try asking for one during an ice cream run next summer!
College Ices was another name for Sundaes

Hard of hearing?... plain text full Stenograph Record.
Budgeted for with public funds it's a public record of interest to hard of hearing folks, tinnitis ringing in the ears, deaf, ESL English as a Second Language folks, concussion recovery, stroke recovery folks, folks with cognitive difficulty, dyslexic, attention deficit, elderly, folks in city neighborhoods far afield of City Hall, Hyde Park folks, Mattapan folks, Orient Heights folks, folks with difficulty to tolerate the hard aggravating public seats of the Council Chamber, folks sidelined for lack of access to the plain text full Stenographic Record of the Public Meetings of Boston City Council.
