...dining hall, many of the College’s most outspoken critics have mercilessly attacked the House and its residents. Blowing a matter of relatively small concern way out of proportion, even the Crimson Staff has insisted that Adams’ dining hall policies are an issue of basic fairness—that everyone who pays board should be able to eat close to the Yard.
