...because of any idealistic reason that men in the Engineering School should be part of the House Plan. It is not because their "scientific training" will blend with any "academic culture" to produce the ideal broad-minded Harvard man that their presence therein is desirable. The idea of a cross-section has been pretty well dispelled this year. The broadening influence of the House Plan can fairly well be termed an educational dream. It is, however, because Engineering School students are Harvard undergraduates as much as the men in the College that their inclusion in the House Plan...
...Flexner's Institute may be able to provide an ideal atmosphere for genuine scholarship. Perhaps it will become a place to which college professors can return at intervals for "recreative" study. But such an exclusively intellectual community runs the danger of becoming absorbed in its own abstract ratiocinations.

Dr. Paul Martin of Switzerland", bone specialist, U. S. 1,000-yd. champion, has an ideal stride for indoor track but he has only recently recovered from an attack of bronchitis. He withdrew from the 1,000-yd. race and placed only third in the two-mi, steeplechase. To some of the foreign athletes, however, boards were new. Seraphin Martin of France was second...
...ruling--that is, to give those who cannot afford high rents an opportunity to live in inexpensive rooms, and to eliminate those perennial inhabitants who, by virtue of full time teaching appointments could (so they say) afford to live elsewhere,--is just and reasonable, the method of carrying the ideal into effect involves a fallacy and contradiction which should be pointed...
