THERE is a rumor current, that, on his entrance upon office, the new steward of Memorial Hall requested of his predecessor a copy of the bill-of-fare by which, during the late regime, the table had been regulated; a request which the latter refused to comply with, unwilling to give over into the hands of a rival a work which he had been more than two years in perfecting. The students fully support Mr. Farmer in this decision...
...HAVE been told that at some former time (the exact period I cannot state) the Corporation, or Faculty, or Steward, or somebody, was in the habit of buying coal in large quantities at the season of the year when it was cheapest; and that they then disposed of it to the students, throughout the year, at the original price.

If a sufficient number of those who have been driven from the Hall by the mistakes of the past will give the Association one more trial, the price of board will undoubtedly be kept at a reasonable figure, the fare...
...them, they ought to be supported by the members of the Association. They have done everything in their power towards removing Mr. Farmer. If he is removed, therefore, the future success or non-success of the Association will be considered as depending upon them; and however competent the new steward may be, the Association cannot possibly succeed if there is any further decrease in the number of men at the Hall. It is the duty, accordingly, of all those who urged the Directors to this action to remain in the Association until it is again established on a firm basis...
