...preserve President Lowell's grand design of tutorial for all, the University relies heavily on group sessions and an increasing number of graduate student-tutors. While undergraduates doubtless prefer individual attention from a faculty member, the exigencies of more students, larger budgets, and a bulging junior faculty has left the University few alternatives in the matter...
...existing institutions, ranging in size and and character from a small women's college to universities like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. The purpose of the plan would be to experiment with new educational ideas and develop a pattern by which first-rate private training can be extended to a larger number of qualified college students. The new college would presumably be launched without endowment, so that tuition would have to absorb most of the costs, with the deficit to be made up by the community in which the college is located.

Otherwise, University associations wil grow into centers of prestige and activity, while Houses wither to sleeping quarters for the active...
Expansion for the Dental School would therefore imply, in addition to added staff and equipment, new construction to accommodate the needs of an appreciably larger amount of students. This might possibly correspond to an increase in Medical School enrollment, but at the present time the Medical School is more concerned with bringing itself up to date than with expansion, so it would appear that growth in the Dental School will not take place in the near future...
