...many a housekeeper or cook, while even the authorities of Memorial Hall might take some of Dr. Wilder's suggestions to heart with profit. After a few words of caution as to drinking-water, he goes on to say that "for healthy growing people the habitual use of tea or coffee is undesirable. Certainly they should be used in moderation." For harmless substitutes he suggests "wheat coffee" or "Fry's Cocoa Extract." Milk is recommended most highly as being both food and drink and even if at first it disagrees with some, he says, "perhaps a persistent trial...

The boys breakfast in small rooms, twenty or twenty-five together, each eating such breakfast as his means, his tastes, his skill in marketing, or the liberality...
...same as in all the ladies' colleges. The hours of refection are much the same as in all homes. Breakfast, after prayers at eight, goes on from a quarter-past eight to nine. Luncheon is a movable feast from twelve to three. The dinner hour is six. There is tea at four, and again at nine in the evening. The lectures are generally given in the afternoon. There is a reading-room, with use of pianos. The students may invite friends to lunch or dinner, but these friends must always be ladies, an exception being made in the case...
