All men approve in principle of the club table idea but when the Union offered a special room devoted exclusively to club tables, not one inquiry materialized into a group eating regularly at a table.
The corporation has given me permission to go ahead with plans on a $100,000 dining hall to be located on the old church site at Holyoke and Mt. Auburn Streets, but the corporation does not intend to spend $100,000 to construct an empty hall. Do you men care for club tables or do you not?
If we find that upper classmen seem to have any real design for such tables this year, we may build the hall. It is true that the Freshmen have asked for such a hall, but we are not convinced that this expression fully states their feelings as they will become when they are upper classmen.
We will furnish you food as good and as cheaply as can be obtained. The suggestion has been made that small rooms for club groups be included. If these are wanted, they will be built. But mind you, this would increase the cost. These details, however, can be worked out.
I feel confident that once men acquire the club table system, they will continue, because in the first place, they will have such companionship as to divert their attention from the common occupation of criticizing their food. And Secondly, when one men have eaten in groups, they dislike to split up and they can't move the table group elsewhere.
