In discussing the recent change from colored to white servants in the Freshman Dining Halls, F. S. Mead '87, the University comptroller, said the change was in accordance with the policy of the University in giving the best possible service to the students. Mr, Mead intimated that the change might not be permanent due to the added expense involved.

A Good Riddance

From another source it was gathered that this change was not only due to a question of service but also to the advice of the Ladies Visiting Committee. This committee, it is understood, through investigations of their own and from the advice of certain Freshmen, came to the conclusion that the risk entailed in having white waitresses was far less detrimental than the discontent caused by the negresses.

With regard to the possibility of Freshmen working their way through college by waiting on table, Mr. Mead was emphatic in his disapproval of the idea. "The professional," he pointed out, "is usually superior to the amateur in rendering good service of that nature." To illustrate his point he recalled the long lines that were necessary when amateur tellers, really book keepers, attempted to handle the term bills at the Bursar's office. All this waiting was done away with when the bills were made payable at the bank where professional tellers handle the work.
