DINING HALL CHANGES MADE

The Corporation, believing that a special study should now be made of the best method of administering the two dining halls of the University, and that this can best be done by a small committee which can give a considerable amount of time to the subject during the remaining months of the year, has asked the board of directors of the Harvard Dining Association and the board of directors of the Randall Hall Association to pass the management of the two halls into the hands of such a committee. The managing committee appointed for this purpose consists of Messrs. W. S. Burke, inspector of grounds and buildings; J. D. Greene '96, secretary to the Corporation; and E. H. Wells '97, general secretary of the Alumni Association.

Under the terms of agreement between the Corporation and the two associations, the operation of that agreement can be altered or suspended on one month's notice; but in order to facilitate the work of the committee in the short time that remains this year, the directors of both associations have unanimously voted to waive the month's notice. The responsibility for both halls has thus passed into the hands of the above mentioned committee. The committee will at once consider the problem of improving the efficiency of both halls, the quality of food, and the service. After informing themselves as thoroughly as possible concerning present conditions, and setting on foot such plans for improvement as may be thought wise, the committee will recommend to the Corporation a new form of permanent representative organization, under which, it will be hoped, some of the present difficulties may be avoided.
