Tho statement that the Yale Commons is

extensively circulated The fact has doubtless
pleased the students, and the public announce
ment Of it has probably gratiiied their parents,

ishne the number Of headings under which the

Commons declares that it is about twice as

dilions and is convinced that she could feed the
five hundred lalo students just as vol at the
rate Of . cents a meal, or less than half the
price which they now pay.

stoned with this assertion she might have
