MESSING.
Students can join the Mess-Club with the design of reducing the cost
of living while members of the institution. Suitable University rooms
have been assigned for the accommodation of the club. The Mess will
be managed by its own members as far as practicable. The Chairman
of the Faculty will render such assistance as may be found necessary to
advance its interests.
By the experience of private mess-clubs connected with the University
during several sessions past, it is established that the cost of living, including
board, room rent, fuel, etc., need not exceed fifteen dollars per
month, with the fare abundant and wholesome. The rate per month
will, however, depend upon the good management of the club. The business
of the Mess, catering, etc., will be attended to by a superintendent,
to be selected by the club, subject to the approval of the Faculty. It is
suggested to those students who propose to join a mess-club to bring
bedding, etc., from their homes with them.
Apply to the Chairman of the Faculty for further information upon the
subject.
The system of messing by the students, authorized by the Board, has
been in successful operation during the present session upon a more extended
scale than before. Over eighty students have been messing in
two distinct messes in different locations within the precincts.
