Can’t Watch them Feed the Students. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 5.— No more visitors will be permitted to en ler Memorial Hall, the dining place of the Harvard students, which seats 1,000, during the hour of dining. The managers of the hall have found that its crockery bill grows as the number of visitors increases. The students are annoyed when visitors appear in the gallery and look down on them while eating, much as wild animals in a zoo are watched at meal time. When visitors have appeared, the students have greeted them by pound ing plates, cups and saucers with knives and forks. If this terrific din from hundreds of the diners was not enough to frighten aw’ay the unwel come onlookers, the students some times resorted to throwing pieces of French bread at them.
