COMMONS REVIVED.
Colby Has Proposition for Boarding
Her Boys.

Notices Of a new plan of boarding
were distributed to the Colby fraternity
meetings, Wednesday evening. The
new scheme is q modified form of the
commons that We're in vogue at Colby
many years ago but it retains the prin-
cipal features. All the food will be
bought and prepared by the college
ard sold to the students at the rate
of $3.50 per week in the old Hersey
house at the north end of the campus,
now used as dormitory, but which
will be fitted IN for the new purpose
if the proposed plan is adopted.
According to the old style all the
students took their meals in one large
dining room in a body, but according
to the new version each of the pres
ent clubs or fraternities will eat sep
arately. The notices explained all the
details and We're given out for the con-
SideratiOn of the boys, and the adop-
ton of the plan will depend upon them.
According to the present plan the
board of the women is in charge of
The college, the system having been
recently adopted. The majority of the
women take their meals at the same
place and pay a uniform price, which
is much lower than they would have
TO pay at any of the regular boarding
places. But large amount of sup
plies are needed and these can be pur-
chased cheaply under the conditions.
liitheto the men have managed their
board themselves, being divided into
clubs that are separated on fraternity
lines. Each fraternity has selected Il
manager who does the buying, collect
ing the pay from the members. Ar
engagements have been made with some
one for preparing the food and hous-
boys having their rooms chiefly in the
college dormitorics. BY this method
the price of the board has been ma
terially reduced, while the boys could
have what they wanted within certain
limits. The fraternal and social life
of the clubs has been a great feature
and the plan has always been popular.
According to the new plan the club
feature and the fraternity lines can be
and some saving made on
the cost.
The price offered is very small, es-
pecially for Waterville, but by care
full buying and management profit
can doubtless be realized by the col
lege. Now that the proposition has
been submitted to the boys it will be
left to them to decide whether they
want to abandon their clubs and II

to have drowned herself in the Messa-

nothing definite in this respect has
