EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: I would like to take this occasion to thank the management of Memorial Hall for a slight alleviation of the hardships to which the boarders in the hall are exposed. The cause of my gratitude is the improvement in the character of that article which comes to us fourteen times a week, and each time generally weaker, and more ethereal than the last. In short, Memorial Hall soup seems to be improving. Since Sunday we have been favored with a really sensible kind of liquid, one plate of which contains more nutriment than five gallons of the thin and starving consomme and the ill-famed Scotch broth. Rumor has it that a new cook has been imported. Let us be thankful that he has not yet learned the methods of Memorial. Who knows but that at last an heroic soul has appeared who dares to resist the determined efforts of the management to lower the quality of the food to the second class restaurant standard? If he succeeds, he has the gratitude of several hundred patient and long-suffering undergraduates.
