EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: Will you allow me through your columns once more to urge all those interested in the future existence and welfare of the Dining Association to return at once to Memorial. Men can no longer stay away because of cheaper board with better food elsewhere; for there is now a strong guarantee that the price of board at the hall will not exceed $4.25 per week; while the quality of the food is better than ever before, and most certainly superior to any that can be obtained outside at the same price. But this attempt to adapt the hall to the needs of the large number - the majority it is believed - of students, who ask for simple, wholesome fare at low rates, can only meet with success if responded to with liberality. It is necessarily merely an experiment for the rest of this year; and if, by the neglect of those for whose benefit it was undertaken, it should fail, its failure would carry with it the failure of the association, and the probable abandonment of the whole organization. For the sake, therefore, of preserving this institution, whose full value to themselves even they would realize to their cost if it should be removed, these men should come back to the hall at once. The directors have done their best, the corporation have done their best, the steward is doing his best. It only remains for the students at large to give their appreciative support and all will be well.
