...representative, capable, and energetic board would be far better than at present. It has also been suggested that it would be advantageous to have a portion, at least, of the board chosen from the members at large without regard to class lines. We have no doubt that the above plan, or some other calculated to secure a more careful selection of officers, would bring about a material improvement in the success of the Dining Association...

Still the supporters of the measure, in citing the precedent of a similar plan successfully adopted in Latin and Greek, seem to have called to their aid an example not wholly analogous; for men come to College with a considerable knowledge of Latin and Greek, derived from four or five years of preparatory study; while the men in the Freshman sections in German have...
