...granted the petition of the present management that there be added to the Board of Directors a representative of the members of the Graduate Department and of the offices of the University who are members of the Dining Association. This addition was asked for in order that the management might be strengthened by the presence in the Board of Directors of some one who would reflect the opinions of the older men of the Association.

Since it is not evident why assistance such as scholarships should reduce the expenses, there is no need for the column headed, "Least without assistance;" and the column under "Athletic" is unnecessary, because there is not much difference between it and those on either side, and because some of the expenses, such as theatres and parties, where an increase is made, are for the very luxuries from which the athlete...
