...term-time, till 12 at night; in vacations, every week-day, till 9. With the Oxford commons-system, it is not found advisable to have a club-kitchen of any great extent.

ANOTHER suggestion has been made which seems to us to offer an exellent solution of the difficulty, and that, too, without any increase in the running expenses. It is proposed to have two separate hours for each meal, and thus enable each table and each seat to be used twice over, if necessary.
