A sudden influx into one dining-room, while that of another house is vacant, is a rather far-fetched objection, and it will be possible to figure on the total of meals served in all houses, as accurately as under the system proposed by the University. Furthermore, the extra incentive to eat at houses other than one's residence is quite in agreement with...
