CONSIDERABLE fault, we regret to say, has been found with the administration of the Dining Hall. The food, it is said, is of poor quality; the price of board has been greatly increased; the monthly statements of expenses no longer appear; the Auditor presents his report to the Directors in such a shape, that, by his own admission, verification is impossible; Directors are neglectful of their duty, and their authority is not respected by the head waiter and the steward; employes are inefficient and uncivil.

Few men have gained greater sympathy and esteem from those with whom they have come in contact; few men would leave behind a vacancy so hard to fill. Never unmindful of the dignity of his high position, he has yet ever been a true...
