Like the History Department, it has renumbered its basic courses upon a somewhat more sane system than the usual football-signal confusion, an advantage so evident that it is strange not to find it carried through in other departments, especially those of literature...

For the unHoused, who will, especially in the first years of the House Plan, be numerous, the entire building is of unique value. And for the rest of the students, who do find places in the new system, the Union will still supply an excellent library, and recreational advantages that will otherwise, even then, be possible only for club members.
