Cheerfully flouting General Rule number 6 from the Blue Book: “Lunch must be confined to the lunch room. It may not be eaten in the class rooms, the studies, the reception room.” Overcrowding was occasionally blamed on guests from Teachers College, who were permitted to use Barnard’s lunch room in exchange for Barnard students’ privilege of using the Teachers College gymnasium, before their own was built.

“Black students at lunch at the ‘soul table’ in the Hewitt Dining Room. They generally eat together at this table, a large round one in the southwest corner of the dining room. Some people on the campus point gloomily to the table as an example of black separatism. Others point out that table cliques are traditional to college life, like the ‘football table’ at a men's school, for example.” From Barnard Alumnae, spring 1969, p. 6.
