Yale, too, said Mr. Roth, has seen and conquered its gastronomical crisis. The Eli eaters receive food in a common dining-hall; they have menus prepared by experts. All the cooking is attended to by feminine hands. Yale is now content, but two years ago it seethed with anti-lunch room sentiment. A dyspeptic group of agitators successfully raised their voices. The result is historic. The lunch rooms of New Haven stand empty, deserted are the purveyors of hot frankforts...

...very interesting and unique presentation of news, . . . you should know that Coughlin and McKenna were contemporary political bosses, keepers of large saloons of the lowest type where one quart schooners of beer or drinks of low grade whiskey were obtainable for 5?, together with a bountiful free lunch. They were equally famed characters in the Chicago of 1890-1900. To a resident of the Windy City in those days a reference to "Bath House John" without mention of "Hinky Dink" is most incomplete...
