Today, however, the program at Harvard for Reunion Week, 1956, shows that many prominent men decidedly disagree with Thomas's pronouncement (as with many of his other ideas, no doubt). Three such persons, it may be presumed, are John H. Finley, Jr. '25, Master of Eliot House, John U.

...drawing its personnel from the whole University, the Drama Group was just another HDC in disguise. It had the added advantage of having a definite place to rehearse, whereas the HDC has had to move around to find adequate rehearsal space. Tashjian points out that "the support of Master Finley has been inestimable," referring to the fact that a House group has "an angel" in its Master who can usually appropriate House funds to help the group out if it is in financial trouble, as well as being ready to provide additional assistance...
