Harvard had but the melancholy resource of calling up by long distance telephone those members of the Athletic Committee known, who could in reply only endorse Harvard's previous understanding.

Of the quality offered we have little to complain, but it does seem that by a little judicious management the meals might be served fresher and hotter.
