...strange proclivity for giving out just at the wrong time. The Crew men say that one cannot get decent meat when one happens to come in at a quarter past six, and that this has been often the case, our own personal experience can testify. To be sure, the Steward never refuses to give us something to eat; but, frankly speaking, pork and ham and pressed hash are not exactly the kind of diet most men have a craving for. The pears have been miniature brickbats, and the grapes not always what they should be. Another grievance comes, however, from...
...Hall. We have not always been so fortunate as to agree in every point with the Board of Directors, but, looking at their labors as a whole, we confess that their year's work is very creditable to them. They took the Hall embarrassed by an incompetent steward, and with a small membership; they leave it flourishing, with a fair membership, and its management in the hands of a steward who gives very general satisfaction.

The first occasion for surprise the Catalogue-reader meets is, that, after the Faculty have been enumerated, the corps of College officers should be swelled by such names as those of the Superintendent of the Gymnasium, an Assistant in the Library, and the Steward of Memorial Dining-Association. Or, if this does not astonish him, he wonders that since these names are given he does not find other names also, - for instance, the name of her whose traditional title the Crimson once ingeniously avoided by styling her "she who superintends the goodies." And then...
...place upon the tables lists of extra dishes that may be ordered by such students as are dissatisfied with the regular fare, and are willing, by paying a little more, to arrange the menu to better suit their respective tastes. These extra dishes are to be prepared by the steward, and furnished at a price just large enough to cover the cost of supplying them, and the list is to be comprehensive enough to make our Memorial table second to none within our reach...
