Although at first glance this move may appear to be in keeping with the general concentration of activities in the Houses, there is something to be said in favor of those House masters who opposed just such a move two years ago on the basis that an alien element would thus be introduced in the House dining halls. Undoubtedly the first reaction of a House member on entering his dining room and seeing a large table filled with the members of other Houses does not tend toward making him become more House-conscious, nor is the House spirit...

A small group, composed mostly of those naturally 'again the Government,' maintain the so-called liberalism of the New Republic and Nation type. The Liberal Club, captured by the Communist element in a recent election coup-d'etat, represents a certain type of 'liberalism,' while the Inquiry, concerned with investigations of social phenomena from the student standpoint, represents another. Outside of these groups there is little organized radicalism among undergraduates, but that does not preclude the existence of a great amount...
