...appreciate troubles with student identification (who wants 13 or 14 years olds anyway?) and the fire hazards of an overcrowded hall. But one cannot accept the "scrapping of big mixers" because some girls who just don't get asked to dance, "go back and complain to deans and parents, who, in turn, complain to us (the deans)."... Those girls that are dissatisfied just should not come back. Why should we, as Harvard undergraduates, be penalized in our social sphere because of a group of snivelling girlings who lack any social maturity to handle the situation...
