...money recieved from the sale of Longfellow will be used to further the reorganization of the College into house centers. This year students affiliated with Holmes. Moors, and Comstock will belong to North house; those in Cabot, Whitman, Eliot, and the new Wilbur K. Jordan co-operative house will be in East house; Briggs, and Barnard will form South house...

Virginia City, Nev., a town of 515 atop the exhausted Comstock Lode, always seemed a wildly improbable place for so determined a dandy as Lucius Beebe.

Nevertheless, no new House-dorm co-operative ventures are now being planned...
