Rumors have been current throughout the year, and not without some foundation, that a large group of Sophomores who were shuttled out of their chosen House to correct the cross-section makeup, intended to leave the Houses and to secure lodgings outside. Much of the agitation came from Kirkland House which received more than its ordinary quota from the socially prominent men. Complaints during the previous year, that Kirkland House was a "social desert" together with the building of Bryant Hall during the summer resulted in the concentration of many outstanding men in the Class of 1937 there...
...pestilence, and the snooping, prying novitiate is a bane to all civilized people. Even to those on the inside his behavior is inexplicable.

There is nothing in the present makeup of Harvard which would prevent the smooth working of such a system and there is no official objection to it in principle. The existing method of assigning course credits at Harvard is archaic and unjust; the suggested plan is equitable and practical, and only an excess of inertia stands in the way of its adoption...
