The food thrown away was returned to the kitchen completely untouched; the butter was still in bowis with ice and water, and the bread was still on the bread plates...
...earnest young man, and no one can quarrel with the variety of peculiar and ingenious solutions. But the efforts of the Kirkland House Committee seem to me to be less skillfully devised. Now that Lent is over, I am not sure that the formula of bad meals eaten in silence will be enough to restrain undergraduate vernal exuberance...
