BOUILLON?

athenaeum has a weird habit of serving BEEF BOUILLON during lectures. ads routinely say "free for members; $10 non-members; includes one cup of bouillon".

it is not the kind of place i'd expect to be served ANYTHING to eat, much less something so strangely SPECIFIC. is there some HISTORY to this? 216.50.220.34 (talk) 02:50, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

MAYBE. We'll have to LOOK into it and SEE what we can FIND. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.50.240 (talk) 03:45, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proprietors?

I don't think Hawthorne and Bowditch were "proprietors," I think they were members. Is there a source indicating otherwise? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.61.174.232 (talk) 19:02, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
