...changes have been made in the original proposal. Not only will both common rooms be freely open to both students and tutors, but, that peculiarly British institution the High Table is to be set but once a week at the time of the regular House Dinner. Even at this meal tutors will not be required to eat at this table nor will students be excluded from...
During several trips to Paris, the writer has been often annoyed, and frequently amused at what seems to be a favorite indoor sport of the French people. At meal times in the restaurants and hotels at table, it seems to be a universal custom for some Frenchman to blow a loud blast upon his nasal appendage (regularly called "bugle" in the United States...

His friends can either pay him for the meal they eat with him there, or else entertain him themselves at some other time. That leaves 16 meals a week to eat where he chooses or where he must...
Incidentally, it is very surprising that 10 meals for $7.50 represents the lowest estimate of the Harvard dining room management. For--to add but one reason to the many already given--at one club at Harvard with an unsubsidized dining-room and an expected minimum of twenty persons at a meal, meals are being offered singly, at 11 for $6.00, and at 6 for $3.75 lunches and dinners alone, with second helpings, soup and salad, and all very good because of the free competition of other eating places...

Such organizations have a successful prototype in the Metropolitan lunch clubs, and would perform a valuable service in bringing men of different Houses together several times a week. A revision of the club system in this direction would retain most of the real advantages of the present system and do away with the isolated clique tendency which finds its fullest and worst development in so many other American...
