...Junior class have elected J. A. Mead and C. Moore directors of the Memorial Hall Dining Association for the ensuing year. The class unanimously adopted the following resolution: Resolved, That our directors be instructed to use every means in their power to procure the dismissal of the present steward at the earliest moment possible...

In fact, the Directors have found Mr. Farmer not only ready to attend to complaints made by or through them, but most willing...
