136 BULLETIN OP THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN. 



■will be near the campus of our University a refreshment booth 

 offering the most wholesome, palatable, and nutritious foods at 

 slight cost, so that students may spend in the library, in the 

 laboratories, and in general social intercourse on the campus 

 the time which is now wasted in rushing to a "square" meal and 

 recovering from the same ? 



During the winter of 1892-93 an experiment was made along 

 this line at the Boston School of Gymnastics in serving lunch- 

 eons to women students at 15 cents each. The manager, Miss 

 .Wentworth, kept a record for one month of the amount of foods 

 furnished, with their nutritive values ; and while I believe more 

 nutritious and more easily digested articles, as I have indicated 

 in Chapters III and IV, could be furnished now than appeared 

 in this record, yet it is suggestive regarding what could be done 

 for students in our midst without departing in any way from 

 established custom respecting articles of diet.
