Incidentally, it is very surprising that 10 meals for $7.50 represents the lowest estimate of the Harvard dining room management. For--to add but one reason to the many already given--at one club at Harvard with an unsubsidized dining-room and an expected minimum of twenty persons at a meal, meals are being offered singly, at 11 for $6.00, and at 6 for $3.75 lunches and dinners alone, with second helpings, soup and salad, and all very good because of the free competition of other eating places...
...though its actual success depends entirely on individual students. The permission for meals eaten by guests to count in the total of ten has not been granted, but since it is natural to expect that most of such guests will be members of other houses, there is no strong reason against such permission. A sudden influx into one dining-room, while that of another house is vacant, is a rather far-fetched objection, and it will be possible to figure on the total of meals served in all houses, as accurately as under the system proposed by the University. Furthermore...
...charge. The CRIMSON did not deprecate the primary advantage of the House Plan that it can put a stop to continual "eating around". Neither did it imply that upperclassmen have some sentiment about breaking an established attachment with the Georgian.

It pointed particularly to the fact that this financial pressure will bear more severely upon men of moderate means...
...London are run on a great deal smaller scale than Harvard", said Mr. Peers. "The result is, of course, that our professors are bothered with comparatively little organization or red tape, as compared with yours. In the University of Liverpool, for instance, there are only 1800 students. The main reason for this is that there are not anywhere near as many people in Spain or in England who are desirous of a college education as there are in America. Then too, in Spain the A. B. degree means almost nothing, for the Universities there take boys...
...Senior elections held last Wednesday. Granted that the present generation at Harvard has putgrown any yearning for strenuous political activity, there has nevertheless existed, even in recent year, much more interest in the choosing of class-officers than was manifested by the Class of 1930. The chief reason for the slight vote is rather to be found in the range of polling places and of time for voting. There are two alternatives either of which would increase the vote appreciably: the use of post-card ballots, or the extension of voting hours and the pumlier of polling places...
