...spite of this commendable service students are not very conversant with the past service and present functions of the Council. This body exist to do all in its power to increase the efficiency of the dining halls, and requests men who are dissatisfied or see ways for improvement to submit all suggestions. Because the University Dining Council has to deal with institutions that are of such importance in the social life of Harvard, it deserves to be regarded as the organ that represents the students body and is prepared to serve it to the utmost capacity. Two fundamental considerations should...
