...Hall at present is peculiar. The hall is divided into two sections, of which one has more than two-thirds of the seating capacity, and the other less than one-third; and yet in this smaller section five hundred and ninety-seven students must eat their meals, while the larger section accommodates but five hundred and twenty. That is, materially less than one-half the students in Memorial occupy more than two-thirds of the hall. The smaller section is daily over-crowded; the larger section is never completely occupied. Frequently a score or so of students-and occasionally even...
...tables already have two extra men, and suffer no inconvenience; that four extra men would destroy, or even seriously impair, the pleasant social relations now existing in the hall seems highly improbable. Certainly, even if there was a small inconvenience occasionally, it would be more than counterbalanced by the larger number of men admitted to the hall.

In this way from 1000 to 1275 men could be boarded. Minor details were suggested such as dividing the larger club tables into halves, each half choosing its meal hour, and dining separately. Most of the proposed plans tended toward a combination of general and club table systems...

The difference of the twelve hundred has been compensated partly by the larger attendance at smaller games which was attracted by the better stands, and partly by the value of the lumber now on hand. For this year alone the grandstands have been a good investment and the vote of the Corporation means no great financial loss...
...amount of the paid subscriptions to the Frank Bolles Memorial Fund to date is $802.75. At first glance this sum seems rather disappointing, yet it represents a much larger number of subscriptions than one would naturally think. Many men who have not been able to give much have given what they could to show their interest in the Fund. No contribution is too small to be of service. The Fund will not be handed to the University authorities till June and subscriptions of any amount will be welcome at any time...
