...argument. Since Winthrop Adams, and Lowell will have small-scale living exchanges this spring. Mather had an opportunity to aid the experiment in a unique way. The other Houses will only exchange about 50 students each: boy-girl ratios will then be about five to one in the three Harvard Houses. If all the 100 extra places in Mather were offered to Cliffies, Mather House would approach a one-to-one living ratio.

So the unique opportunity for starting coed living at a new House is not yet lost. If no coed living plan for the University as a whole is proposed by spring. Mather should certainly then consider coed proposals for the House for next fall...
