The Domestic Department Epita May Lincoin Tue way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Even so, we are perhaps most conscious of the Domestic Department through the habit of consuming three meals a day. The gayest dinner of the year is served the night before we leave for Christmas va- cation. Afterward, the entire college attends the Mummers’ Play for which the boar’s head is real and is prepared in the kitchen, brown and glistening with an apple in its mouth. Week-ends present a problem. To calculate how many people will be in the dining-room is generally pure guess work. In the fall, football games are astutely reckoned with; whether the game of the week is at Harvard or Princeton is a deter- mining factor. The domestic department caters for various campus coffees, receptions, and faculty teas. Tomato juice or milk and crackers are provided daily for the Nursery. Such an important event as the Freshman- Junior Bacon Bat requires cider, hot dogs, and rolls ordered by Miss Lincoln. This year the Riding Team had early breakfast in Em- erson dining room, a great advance from the half-hearted coffee making in Everett base- ment. Such events as Founder's Day meals with alumnae back, the Phi Beta Kappa din- ner, buffet supper for the winter ice carnival, dinner after the swimming meet and the Dance Recital require careful attention and expert planning. Market day comes on Tuesday at Faneuil Hall. The planning 1s done ten days in advance so that there is no last minute buying. But seeing that we are fed is not the only task of the Domestic Department. The mail is delivered three times a day (in spite of your personal opinion!), during exams we are provided with milk and crackers every night, and on Monday mornings we drag ourselves wearily out of bed in time to send our sheets to the laundry. The Domestic Department copes with mice in Stanton, providing mouse traps guaranteed to kill painlessly. It deals efficiently with trunks and boxes, repairs doorbells and broken windows, sends us trays when we have sniffles, and is altogether a liberal education in domesticity. Naturally the gargantuan task of keeping house for a family the size of Wheaton re- quires a large staff. Someone has to sweep up the tracks of the Wheaton girl who has never heard of doormats, someone has to do the supper dishes, someone has to keep track of how many handkerchiefs she sends to the laundry. We do not often have an Opportunity to express appreciation for be- ing so taken care of, and we should like now to say ‘thank you!”’ [14 ]
