...class associations are limited, and limited by social boundaries. The class lines are still drawn in society rooms as strictly as they ever were in the recitation-rooms of old Harvard. The modern student when he thinks of his class thinks of his society.

This was attributed to a doubt on the part of students as to whether four dollars a week was a price that would insure good fare, and the suggestion was made that extra dishes should be supplied to those who were willing to pay for them. Four dollars was fixed as the minimum, with the idea that...
