...Dining Association has on the whole been a decided success this year. There have been occasional causes for complaint, such as the streak of bad butter two or three weeks since, the over-flavored ice cream a few days ago and others, doubtless, that did not affect the whole hall. Only constant vigilance on the part of the directors, and a willingness to learn from such mistakes on the part of the steward, can prevent these mishaps. Accidents will happen in the best-regulated families, whether they number 8 or 800. The students do not realize what a big thing...

The two things that have hurt the hall more, perhaps, than any others have been a failure on the part of members to make just complaints, and indiscriminate fault-finding. At $4.25 a week personal supervision cannot extend to the food and service of 720 boarders, and a member can do the management no greater favor than to report at once and fairly, any just cause for complaint.

Some complaint will undoubtedly be made at the slowness with which the meals will be served when fourteen men have to accommodate themselves to the service of one waiter, but this is certainly better than the present arrangement, under which one is never sure of fending his seat vacant. As the new plan will be only temporary, we hope the boarders at the Hall will do their best to put up with...
...Dartmouth certainly had hard luck in some of her games and deserves a better position than the one she occupies in the intercollegiate baseball association. To term, however, an honest expression of opinion egotistical, and an opinion, which facts prove was perfectly true, sounds very much like a childish complaint. Can the defeats at the hands of Amherst and of Yale have ruffled the temper of the Dartmouth...
