...breakfast, luncheon and supper, if he choose to order any, are served in his rooms, and he can order at very moderate cost pretty much what he pleases, so that he is comparatively little dependent on the hall dinner; but that in most colleges is a comfortable, sustaining meal, washed down by some of the finest ale in England. The bad fare at Harvard has the effect of sending many students into Boston a great deal more than is desirable, for, astounding as it may seem, Cambridge, a town of sixty thousand inhabitants, is, as Ford wrote of Spain...

The propriety of allowing any visitors during meal-time is questionable; and persons unaccompanied by students should at all hazards be rigidly excluded. The Board of Directors have it in their power to take immediate steps toward remedying present evil; and that the majority of the Association are in favor of a very radical change, we thoroughly believe...
