...repugnance on the part of students to being served by fellow students in Memorial Hall fashion, it seems to me that you are frightened at an entirely unnecessary and improbable state of affairs. I can assure you that the relations existing between a student and a colored waiter are not tolerated at this club, and that it is entirely possible to disassociate the duties of a student waiter from the social standing which accompanies, permit me to say, not those duties, but the waiters themselves, at Memorial Hall...

The material difficulties in the shape of certain falling off in the quality of the service, which would affect all members of the association, and of probable conflict of hours, which would inconvenience the waiters themselves, need hardly be considered.

...communication about Memorial suggests the difficulty, which a single waiter would have in serving eighteen men, as a practical objection to any increase, temporary or permanent, in the number of men at club tables. We do not think this is insurmountable. To be sure, two waiters at a table would largely increase the cost of board. On the other hand, it would be possible to add a small number of waiters for service at the club tables whose sole duty should be to keep the tables cleared of dishes that had been used; and, further, to have an increased number...
