Eating Well

Grilled halibut or roast lamb? Those were the entrée choices offered to students when Thayer dining hall first served dinner in 1937. Fast-forward to today’s newly renovated Thayer, now called the Class of 1953 Commons, and the range of menu options has grown considerably. Students can choose from seven food stations. A new interna- tional food station will offer something different each week, such as Indian or Korean dishes. Along with the expanded menu, the Commons now has seating for 1,000, up by more than 300, and a possible new nickname: “53.”
