...sixty-cent dinner has lately been instituted and seems to have met with the approbation of all the men using the restaurant, and although it is rather early to make any definite statement, there is no reason why it should prove any greater expense to the Union than the seventy-five-cent dinner. In the case of the restaurant it must be borne in mind that the question is merely how little the loss can be made...
...policy of allowing only those societies having over 60 per cent of their members, members of the Union, the use of rooms has worked most satisfactorily. The direct results have been (1) to reduce the number of societies using the Union from 61 to 48, and (2) to increase the membership of the Union considerably, as nearly of the societies having less than 60 per cent, have raised their percentage to the required point.

On the other hand, confronting the earnest student is the danger of early and extreme specialization. Over 20 per cent, of the University begin to specialize at least as early as the end of their Freshman year. These are some...
...from $20,000 to$7,000 a year. A margin of football receipts to carry along the minor sports would still exist. Make the margin larger by reducing sundry expenses. In my day there was a good deal of extravagance. Expenses could easily have been cut twenty-five per cent. Is it not the same today...
