DE LUXE FOOD GROWS
TIRESOME AT HARVARD
Some of the Plain and Wholesome
Stuff that Mother Used to Frame
Up Is Desired.

Boston, April 2L-Harvard men want
hash, cOrned beef and cabbage and
beans to eat. and they are quite willing
to fOrego chicken a la Maryland and
roast beef au jus to get it,
The superintendent of Memorial Hall,
where leo of the undergraduates eat
three times a day. is wary of Offering
hash diet to the students, but a regular
New England boiled dinner is now en-
route from manufacture to consumer
and the beans will be cooked up, too.
Since the beginning of the college year
last September the Harvard men who
dine at Memorial have been given de
luxe dishes. Some of them who were
not born with silverware between their
jaws. however. are beginning to yearn
as spring swings round the orbit for
some of the dishes that mother used to
frame up.
In the suggestion box. which the man.
agement of the Harvard dining hall has
placed near the office, student signing
himself by that well known newspaper
classiC-Pro Bono Publico-dropped a re-
quest which said: Enough of this
chicken and roast beef almost every day
Why don't you vary the diet and give
us hash, Corned beef and cabbage, and
beans once in a while? Wen appreciate
these dishes if you don't serve them too
often
The note was considered, lnasmuch as
1t came from some bona fide boarder.
and the menu at Memorial may glitter
shortly with some of the plain and
wholesome.
