...increasing degree of participation by the undergraduate body in the Dartmouth Winter Carnival has reached a point where the facilities for entertainment are used to capacity.

Moreover, the independent, "inside" union has made great strides in membership, and has clearly shown that it would be less exacting than the American Federation of Labor. But Harvard has chosen to discard technicalities and to make the kind of settlement the majority of the dining-hall workers desired. For this it is to be commended...
