Second: In some Houses, contact in the dining halls between students and tutors has been continual, pleasant, and fruitful. In other Houses the tutors and associates have preferred to eat most of the time at "staff tables"; it is safe to say that any special staff table seems a superfluous institution; and that unwillingness of the tutors to mingle with undergraduates is resented by the latter...
...first place, it should be noted that non-residents do at present have a small share in House life. Some of them have tutorial conferences in Houses. The tutors occasionally extend to the tutees the privileges of the House library. Some also eat in the Houses as the guests of friends. Many of the House entertainments and discussion groups are open to outsiders. A number of men who moved out of Houses for financial reasons have been extended library and dining hall privileges. And in considering "commuters," of course, it must be remembered that this term has been used...
Dining halls. There are roughly 500 upperclassmen commuters. Divided among the Houses, they would be roughly 70 per unit. But some of this number eat at home, some in clubs, and it is doubtful that, given dining hall privileges, many would make use of them. In 1931-32, 204 Freshman commuters were offered the privileges of the Union. Only 43 used it, and fewer still ate there; those who ate there averaged only 4 meals for a two month period, November-December...

What is to be hoped is that tutors will more often eat with non-residents, if, as suggested below, given the use of the House libraries and incorporated into House athletic teams, will come to know more members, who will invite them to meals as paying "guests." In this way the non-resident will have a much broader undergraduate life; and his presence in the dining hall as a guest would prevent his being considered a foreign element, detrimental to any House unity, imaginary or real...
...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 to eat as paying "guests"; the non-residents would thus be assimilated, to that extent, in the House life...
