...freshman class by dividing it into Houses before the start of the school year. But is this kind of class unity really a significant part of the undergraduate experience at Harvard? With students sprinkled along the River and as far away as the Quad, class unity ceases to exist after freshman year, anyway. And since freshman dorms would remain in the Yard and freshmen would still eat together in Annenberg, there would be ample opportunity to preserve some kind of class identity within a Yale-style system, even as freshmen are able to take advantage of the House communities...

Instead, different cliques on campus attract people with varying interests—and you don’t have to choose one stereotype to stick with for the remainder of your four years here (though of course there are some who choose...
