The library, of course, is at once one of the most popular and one of the most useful of House adjuncts; further, no conceivable region is less suited to crowding than a library; if Bryant Hall was added without...
HOMECOMING-Floyd Dell-Farrar & Rinehart ($3). Generations push each other too fast to allow youth to grow old gracefully or without hurting somebody's feelings.

...being denied the opportunity to make further acquaintances and friendships. In addition it is argued, the creation of the eighth team has necessitated paying one more coach; and the commuters are now paying as much for athletics as they would be were they incorporated in House teams. To allow them to join such teams would unquestionably increase their participation in undergraduate life. Some Houses, also, have difficulty in raising teams for various sports; with added numbers available this could be done more easily. Friendships formed in athletics would result, as suggested above, in invitations from House residents...
