The unsavory reputation of Memorial Hall as a dining hall, its distance from most Yard dormitories, its uncongenial atmosphere, and the amount of money it would take to equip it satisfactorily, seem more than to offset the advantage of having the entire class eat together. Small dining halls on the first floor of buildings like Harvard Hall, for example, present another alternative, but in the last analysis the solution of the problem depends largely upon the amount of money available for meeting the situation...
