...Board of Overseers have appointed a committee of visitors for the University dining halls. This board, comprising seven well-known Boston women, will inspect the University kitchens and dining halls. Its function will be not so much to seek unsatisfactory conditions as to suggest improvements. The committee is as follows...
...dinner will be the last important function of the year for the Junior Class. In order to encourage the attendance of every member of the class, tickets will be sold for one dollar apiece, the balance of the expenses coming out of the class treasury.
