...making all this possible by voting a refusal to use Memorial Hall as a central dining unit, Law School students have lost an opportunity, which, as it now appears, will scarcely be offered again.

The Harvard Alumni Bulletin has stated that "it is an advantage to have men lunch or dine with friends from other Houses than their own." There is no reason why the present system of signing for meals should not be changed to suit the circumstances, so that each individual could sign his own check, whether eating in his own House or not. If necessary a small extra charge might be made to cover the additional book-keeping expense...
