Even Very Well-Educated Persons Sometimes Need Brief Notes on the Importance of Proofreading

We were hanging out at Yale the other day (long story) when we spotted this sign designating a dining hall which is, in fact, the demesne of a plurality of fellows (yes, we checked, with a high-ranking member of the administration). Also you would think an institution that charges $38,300 tuition per annum would have a better salad bar, but that's sort of unrelated.

Per year or per semester? I would have thought it higher given the astronomical costs of less prestigious institutions.
Maybe it is the dinning hall that is property of the fellows. Was the student dining hall called the Student's Dining (because they own it)?
Your translation makes more sense to me, but I had to be contrary because it's early in the morning and my jeans are still wet in the dryer.
LOL. That is all. :)
That numeral 4 doesn't look right either.
@Erin - if it were, it would be the Fellows' Dining Hall and the Students' Dining Hall, unless it were owned by just one fellow or one student. :)
I'm so glad I got my degree from Kellogg's. Yes. The cereal, not the university.
And when he has finished number 105 fellow can start eating.
LOLOLOLOL
@ Richard: my bad. Perhaps it is owned by just one fellow. Could happen. :)
snigsfoot, almost lost part of turkey sandwich through nasal cavity. . .
(Perhaps the Author Friends can all get T-shirts that say "Fellow 104.")
That dining hall is clearly owned by the same man as this cemetery. He's a little strange.
@Bonnie: If the 4 looks strange, it's probably because of this. (Yay, more typography!)
Was he semi-attractive? I have a thing for intellectual loner types who eat alone in cafeterias.
Ah, apostrophe, though art an enigma. So few comprehend thy mysterie's'.
