Anyone who has ever been to the Lowell House Bacchanalia knows there is a lot of bang—and it is done for little buck. Over two years of creating and running the Bacchanalia, Lowell??s spring formal, I have seen firsthand the power of the College’s House Committees (HoCos) to achieve great results on a limited budget, as well as the tremendous potential for broader success under less-restricted means. Last weekend’s HoCo events in Adams House and Currier House provide ample evidence that HoCos can have tremendous impact...

...During Lowell??s tenure, Harvard was struggling with the problem of reducing its number of Jewish students, which had climbed to 27 percent of the student body by the mid-1920s. In order to quell this influx of smart, seemingly-qualified students, the admissions office instituted a new framework with which to admit applicants; instead of just academic accomplishments and IQ tests, the admissions department would take into account human attributes like “moral character” and “manly vigor.” In following that philosophy, Wilbur J.
