To some natures the multitudinous
assemblage at meals is Objectionable. 10
others the great beauty of the system is in
it's immensely. A member has the privilege
of withdrawing from the association by
giving one weeks notice. The fact was re-

With the medical school in Boston and
the agricultural department, the uni
versity with its different schools con-
tains more than 1000 students of
all classes About half the number in res
licences at Cambridge board at the hall
To provide for the others several systems
are in operation. A considerable number
take their meals at the restaurants, "a gener-
ally expensive arrangement in such place

like exquisite culinary forms at insignificant

wanting in this university town. A choice
between fish balls and baked beans is too
frequently the American range in dishes of
trifing cost, aside perhaps from some of
the cereal preparations and the perennial
pie.
With better systems within his reach, the
Harvard student of limited means might be
economical without starvation. While no
epicure, he is not the voracious eater tradi-
tionallY represented, having frequently the
appetite of centaur, according to perpet-
uated fables. The error is of consequence
in the degree TO which it affects the quality
of the college boarding house fare. With
this, further, as no one doubts, the moral
current Of student life is largely bound.
The cooks like the song-makers, are pre-
dominant force with civilization, and to
disregard the fact even in its limited opsr
alton with the universities is probably
unwiSe.
The boarding houses providing for Har-
ward students are varied in character as in
prices. The legend familiar in Cambridge
that the rate charged in some of these ex-
clusively for table accommodation is $40 or
SIP per week is an exaggeration When
questioned on the subject n person specified
as keeping an expensive table admits charg
ing more than So per week. OF this class
of houses enc near Austin hall has dozen
separate small dlning-rooms, each with
single table, providing for as
many clubs, of which large proportion of
the members are law students. The diet is
generous, with certain New England
peculiarities, and regularly on Sunday
morning the proposed bachelors of law
consume baked beans. A Brattle street
establishment Of u distinctive character
receives a smaller number who also dine in
different apartments. The price for the
table is IS, about thirty assem-
bling for meals. while a few have
lodgings in the house. A low voiced
Englishwoman is the director, whose

niscences Of students who left her house to
become soldiers and returned no more
might well be preserved in the university
annals. She then occupied the old historic
house once owned by Margaret Fuller, and
recently remodeled by the Cambridge
Social Union to form a library. More than
thirty years ago she provided for students,
who now, as fathers, bring the quiet En-

cared for while in college. Men of
