MRS. ROSS' LECTURE TO TI-IE HEADS OF TABLES AT MARSHALL I-IALL. CENTLEMEN:-l have requested you to meet with me in order that we may come to understand each other better in regard to what each expects of the other. Now you gentlemen are not of my choosing, but I presume those who had the matter in charge made a wise choice. This matter of table management has caused me much worry and l hope you will make it a matter of serious thought and attention. You will agree with me that in past years affairs have not gone so smoothly as they might have here in the dining room, and through the fault of no one person, for there has always been too much work and responsibility for one to carry. Now that the work and the responsibility have been divided we are planning for better things. ln choosing gen- tlemen from the upper classes and Faculty there was a purpose in view. You repre- sent the law and order society of the college fthe Juniors smile in a whisperj, and have reached a position of dignity and influence aniong your fellow students. We wish everything to be as homelike and dainty as possible, and it is upon you that the success or failure of this will depend. I hope to work great changes through you in the table etiquette of the l-lall. It is thought best that you sit at the head of the table and serve the plates. See that each gets his or her share of the food, but waste should be avoided, for all that is left over will be carefully saved for the next meal. You alone are to ring for the waiter when the dishes need refilling, so that it will not complicate mat- ters. See that no other member of your table rings for the waiter or converses with him or her. You are to plan to make the table talk as helpful as possible. It would be well to look up suitable topics for conversation. You should not converse about the food or the Dean or Marshall l-lall rules, or funerals or deaths, or any other such somber topics. You are to see that those who are retiring by nature are encouraged to take part in the conversation and those inclined to be noisy are restrained. We must learn to laugh in a whisper. Then of course it will be your care to prevent the met:- bers of your table from playing with napkin rings, knives or forks. See that each changes his or her napkin twice a week. If one member asks to be excused before prayers you must get a reasonable excuse and give it to nie. Now it is a problem with me who you will have at your tables. l have thought it well for each to select four who he knows will be congenial and then distribute the remaining ones as best we may fafter the dispersion of the others has been accom- plishedl. Sonie of the people on the lists you have will not be in school for some time. The Misses Dunlap will not be here till next week. S' 'Dummyl is to eat at my table, said one. vflio 's Dummy,'? Ethel Dunlap. 'What an awful nickname for a girl. We cannot allow any such custom. It is entirely tco familiar. No true gentleman will call a lady a nickname. If a boy hears his sister nicknamed he should pull c-ff his coat and administer a iust punishment. fThe younger members look guiltyj It is exercising the utmost freedom to call a lady by her first name and should not be permitted except with intimate friends. lt is taking liberties and such a person should be reasoned with. l hope there will be no further need of speaking on this matter of nicknames. l appreciate the fact that much is expected of you gentlemen and feel grateful I f to you for being willing to sacrifice your young lives in this manner. This is all for to-dav. .hai A 112 - 0 . ag- '- ,- a-- ' H vi, J ' ',-Qc. . T-. is rg' ?,W3fwF?'i'-Eg fr ' 'ireffwu' 'Eggs fp-- anim' jaw'
