...many who look upon the barren results of the CRIMSON's Eating Ballot as a substantiation of the well worn axiom that one may lead a horse to water but one cannot make him drink. Certainly there is opportunity for the analogy, in spite of the fact that the project concerned men and food instead of horses and liquid refreshments. One hundred and eighty five signatures are adequate proof that, whatever be the cause, a university dining hall with club tables is not the present be-all and the end-all of the student appetite. And the question arises...
...CRIMSON sees no reason either to commend or to deplore the results of the ballot. The response reveals that the project was not sufficiently attractive to gain adequate support. Therefore it must submit to at least a temporary halt. There are, however, other avenues of approach to this problem. Eventually there will come a change in eating habits in Harvard University; realizing this, the CRIMSON has tried to prepare for that change. That its essay has not met with success is in no way a proof that its efforts have been misdirected...

While it will be impossible to carry the project any farther this spring, President Lowell has announced that the offer made by the Corporation to erect a hall on Mt. Auburn Street as soon as 500 students have signified their willingness to eat there will still hold good next year...

If adopted at Princeton and enforced with the rigidity which in its present form it seems to demand, the system will cease to be only symbolical of student cooperation and will be in reality a vital factor in the daily life of the college. The instigators of the project at Princeton appear to be firmly convinced that student government has won its spurs by a period of restrained and sub-servient respect and that it is now prepared to partake in active guidance. If their belief is representative of their university its accuracy and justice will find ample room...
Permit me to make a suggestion in connection with the new University Dining Hall. Has it not occurred to you that a great many more men would be attracted to the project if it were made possible for them to pay only for the meals which they actually take? Why can't meal tickets be issued which would be punched until used up? Men who sleep late in the morning and who leave Cambridge every week-end can hardly be expected to pay for twenty-one meals per week when they take only...
