CORRESPONDENCE.

TO THE EDITORS OF THE CRIMSON:-

I WISH to call attention to the penny-wise and pound-foolish policy which the Memorial Hall Dining Association is pursuing, in crowding men into tables much to the discomfort of every one. This is especially noticeable in the small room, where, not content with packing forty boarders into very limited quarters, measures are being taken to sit fourteen at each table, instead of twelve. I believe there are more than thirty boarders at Memorial beyond the seating capacity; and, although we are told that this number helps to reduce the cost of living, there are few of us who would not prefer to pay the few cents' difference per week, to incur the actual discomfort. The association must remember that, two or three years ago, a general exodus took place from Memorial when an attempt was made to impose inferior food upon the members; and it is possible that the present falsely economical policy may meet with similar failure. It is uncomfortable to be packed into the horse-cars as we sometimes are obliged to be, but we must protest against this abuse gaining further ground at our meals.
