These rooms will each accommodate two men, and as the preference will be given to the larger group applications, the application of two men who apply together will be given consideration before that of a man who applies alone. For group applications it is desirable that one man act as captain for each group of four or more. This captain will send the application to the committee in a sealed envelope containing the signatures of his group. On the outside of each envelope some fictitious name is to be written in order to distinguish it, together with the number...
...writer of the communication admits that ample provision has been made for men applying in smaller groups, but he complains, because the large groups are to have preference in the allotment, and that the applications for small numbers will not be filled in the best building. This is partially true with respect to Holworthy; but is utterly unfounded in respect to any other building, as there will be many crevices to fill in with the smaller groups, and as the facilities of Holworthy are inferior in some respects to those of the other buildings.

For instance, in the west entry of Holworthy, where eight rooms are available, there will be one double room left for a single application after a group of fourteen has had its applications filled. There will be a considerable number of rooms to assign in this way, so that men applying for a single room or in small groups will have practically as good a chance of success as under...
These rooms will each accommodate two men. The largest group, or so-called entry application for seven rooms, will therefore include fourteen names; and in every case, whether the application be for one room or for several, that plan by which two men occupy a room, will take precedence over a one man arrangement. The best groups will thus contain an even number of names...
...desirable that one man act as captain for each group of four or more. This captain will send the application to the committee in a sealed envelope containing the signatures of his group. On the outside of the sealed envelope some fictitious name is to be written in order to distinguish it. There shall further be written on the outside of the sealed envelope, the number of names therein contained; and the order of preference, not of rooms, but of entries in which they desire to have the group assigned. If a man's name appears in more than...
