Harvard is tentatively committed to a center for non-residents. But if this "House" is built, there will be no further freedom for speculation or experiment. If the College does not wish to find itself frozen to a travesty of the House system, it should look carefully at the possibilities...
The proposal, which was moved by Dean Bundy for the Committee on Educational Policy, was reportedly "rather vague," and it was indicated that the direction which the experiment takes will depend in large measure on the Faculty members who participate in it.
One objection to the proposal allegedly was its vagueness, another its possible effect on the General Education program. Several Faculty members said they feared the freshman experiment would "take many of the good people out of sections."
Despite some reticence--which was explained by the early yet crucial stage of thinking on the experiment--members of the CEP and Administration sources alluded last night to certain aspects of the proposed project.
After Faculty action today, it will remain to be determined whether the experiment will be aimed toward a program for the entire freshman class, or for only what one member of the CEP called "the pilots" in it.
