Next year's Dudley House will offer a mix of old and new activities. Popular athletic programs and the chorus and orchestra will remain, as will faculty-student luncheons, Hanson says...

The off-stage chorus, microphoned in, is almost always off-balance and off-sync, and the vocal "jazz trio" is dull and lifeless...
