...answer to your request to be informed of the particular style of dieting the students which would be approved by the visitors of the University, I can only say that the University, I can only say that the University, not being yet in action, nor the Hotels for boarding houses in readiness which will be at their disposal, no style of dieting has been agreed on; but if I may form a judgment from the conversation we have had on the subject.

With the exception of one or two minor inaccuracies, and the slight to Dame Musica noted...
