...parietal rules producing these mortifying effects on the Yard residents were instituted many years ago when the entire population of the dormitories was then composed of Freshmen of tender ages. At the same time the residents of the Houses were permitted a vast amount of freedom in the enforcement of these same rules, on the basis of their status and age as upperclassmen. Now, the situation, though far from being reversed, is not comparable. Many hundreds of Freshmen, all veterans it is claimed, reside in the Houses.

...academic in Cambridge these Autumn days. With many students of voting age for the first time in University history, gov. lectures and ordinary bull sessions can find practical application in the polling booths on November 2. This year's electorate has a novel newcomer, the student-voter, who can base his choice upon a maximum of principle and a minimum of self-interest. The important reasons for voting are obvious to all, and newspaper and radio should provide the information necessary for the intelligent voter to decide which levers to pull on election...
