F A ^ r s FOR FRESHMEN 23 There are a great many places about the University where students may get meals. Most students lodge at one place, and get their meals at another. The Meals boarding clubs and restaurants are managed in various ways. Some are "coopera1 tive/ some are managed by students, others are under private control; but in any case the price of meals varies little, and one place is about as good as another. At some places both men and women are served, and at others only men are admitted. There is perhaps more conventionality and better service at the mixed clubs than at others. T h e boarding house exclusively for men is likely to cause a degeneration in table manners. In recent years there have grown up about the campus a number of lunch rooms where one may get a respectable meal for a relatively small sum. These Avoid Lunch places serve twenty-one meals for a stated Counters sum, and because they allow the greatest freedom as to time and regularity of attendance upon meals they have been extensively patronised. The service at these places is rapid, but usually crude, and the influences are unrefined. The boy who eats his meals with a rush is very likely to develop chronic indigestion, and unconventional service is pretty sure to encourage crude nd careless manners; neither one of these things the college man can afford \o carry about with him. The fact, too, that at such places the student pays only for what he selects, and so is given a chance to save money when his hunger is easih appeased, often leads him to choose an ill-nourishing or badh balam 1 ration. The student who tries t save money on his regular meals is laying up for himself an inheritance oi indig< tion, of which he will find it difficult or impossible to rid himself.
