...smoker is hardly feasible. But geographical proximity and the associations of the Yard make open-house entertainments between dormitories both practicable and profitable. The aging undergraduate may cement at these functions acquaintances which now are of a merely speaking character, and may treasure them in his graduate life or find them sources of pleasure at his class reunions. At present the first-floor rooms act rather generally as loafing places for the dormitory dwellers. Undoubtedly the occupants would be gratified if they could feel that their hospitality was really promoting social intercourse among their classmates...

Should a fortunate student be accidentally bumped from his daily rut, panic would seize him, and the next day would find him travelling the well-beaten path of precedent again. Let us have a few rabid,--yes, flighty, unbalanced, red-flagged,--extremist lecturers. The University can stand them...
