BOARD AT THE COMMONS

The University Commons, operated by the University, is under the management
of Dr. E. A. Kincaid of the McIntire School of Commerce. All meals
are prepared by an experienced chef under the supervision of a trained dietitian.
Only the best materials are purchased and meals are prepared under the most
sanitary conditions, thus assuring substantial, wholesome and appetizing food.
Moreover, the Commons is not operated for profit. Hence it is possible to offer
students a lower rate than can be had elsewhere. The University Dormitories will
make a flat rate for board and room for the session which will be well below
that for equal accommodation off the campus. Last session the rate for board
was $31.50 for the First Term of six weeks and $26.50 for the Second Term of
five weeks. Inasmuch as the accommodations of the Commons are quite limited,
it is desirable for those who plan to attend the Summer Quarter to make reservations
in advance, thus assuring meals of high quality at a low cost in a charming
room in the coolest building on the campus. The location is convenient for
both class rooms and dormitories.

Private Lodging and Boarding Houses.—There are a number of lodging
and boarding houses situated off the campus. All houses accommodating summer
students must be on our approved list. A list will be sent upon application.
