...student body," declared Dr. M. H. Bailey, University Medical Advisor. "I say 'eating around' because, unfortunate-of each season," declared the veteranly, the practise has become so common that the words are now a part of the vocabulary of the community. The trouble is not that the men cannot get fairly good food, but that there is a tendency for them to hurry their meals, and, while many are wise, many others are unwise in their selection of diet...
...Bingham and those who are working with him are trying to gain efficiency through directness of approach and through a reduction of friction. Taking duties certainly peculiarly fitted for those intimately connected with the work from those less well endowed cannot be considered as other than progressive. The tendency to allow a dubiously adequate system to exist usually betokens sluggishness or fear of novelty. That these who are at the center of Harvard athletic affairs are adjusting and making more effective their machinery is to be praised...
...With its large kitchens Memorial Hall is expensive to conduct unless the number of meals served is proportionate to the equipment; and it seems unreasonable to carry it on at a loss if no social purpose is promoted thereby.

Instead of having a capable staff here at Harvard whose training and experience alike fit them for the function...
...CRIMSON cannot outline definitely a complete scheme by which the graduate students shall drop his shackles of tiles and trays, the undergraduate lose his Grecian fetters, and the faculty member forget forever the mawdln messes of the Colonial Club. That is even too difficult for an undergraduate newspaper. It can however state with all sincerity that conditions here are far from what they should be both in food and the price of food. Furthermore, it can suggest that somewhere near the Yard pleasant rooms, fed from some central kitchen could serve meals planned by capable dieticians, perhaps of the feminine...
