...subcommittee chaired by Richard T. Gill '48, Master of Leverett House, is pursuing a more cautious line at Harvard. "We hope to be able to achieve a policy in which all seniors could move out," Gill said yesterday, "but this would depend on the numbers. If a great many wanted to move off, on-campus rents would have to go up." This, Gill said, was unacceptable...

Ideally, seniors should not want to move off campus except in rare circumstances. Mather House may partially ease the problems of over-crowding, and possibly...
...polls also stated that most students do not move off-campus for financial reasons. This is the main reason the Mather Subcommittee does not believe the off-campus charge will end off-campus living, Gill explained...
