But this attempt to adapt the hall to the needs of the large number - the majority it is believed - of students, who ask for simple, wholesome fare at low rates, can only meet with success if responded to with liberality. It is necessarily merely an experiment for the rest of this year; and if, by the neglect of those for whose benefit it was undertaken, it should fail, its failure would carry with it the failure of the association, and the probable abandonment of the whole organization.
