In 1859, students formed Boarding / Eating Clubs. A Club would rent a room or building off-campus, hire a cook, elect officers, and plan meals. On the right side of the image from the 1899 Lanthorn, a person is ringing a bell and calling out "hash, hash, hash". Each Boarding / Eating Club would have a caller. One half hour before dinner, the caller's job was to walk through the halls of the Institute building, ringing a bell, to summon the members to mealtime.
