...Houses will bring a much larger number of men under one roof than there are in the usual Harvard dormitory, and every effort must be made to avoid the atmosphere of regularity and regimentation which is common under such conditions and reaches its height in the army barracks. This can only be done by spending much time and money in the arrangement of the furnishing. The House Masters have recognized this fact, but the economies and conveniences of management to be derived from having all-the furniture of a set pattern, as is the case in the Freshman dormitories, form...
...college. There a charge is imposed for five dinners a week. If a man eats less than five "in Hall" he is wasting money for he is charged for the uneaten meal, even as in the Harvard Houses. Five meals a week, instead of 14! Of course, they must all be dinners: but that is a small hardship because the Cambridge undergraduates have no large city ten minutes away, and they must be in their colleges at a comparatively early hour each night...
...requirement is not, of course, a rule saying "you shall eat 14 meals here each week." But it is a bill for $8.50 which virtually says: "Unless you are rich and can waste money, you must eat all your luncheons and dinners here." That is a requirement inconsistent with Harvard tradition and with English practice. It is a rule which, for the welfare of the House plan and the Harvard undergraduates, should be vastly modified. Incipient protests at Harvard and successful precedents at Cambridge both point to the importance and value of changing the announced plans, and leaving the undergraduates...
...Hutchins: "No man can come to the presidency of the University of Chicago without being awed by the University and its past. . . . We are studying and propose to study problems that do not fit readily into the traditional departmental pattern of a university. . . . What is clear is that we must proceed to give opportunities for cooperation to those who have felt the need of them. We must regard the University as a whole. . . . Comparisons of salaries among universities are irrelevant and harmful. For the question is: can we now get the kind of men we want to go into education...
...August Vollmer's sphygmanometer (lie detector) in the Social Science Building (TIME, May 27). In the Haskell Museum, housing the Oriental Institute's work, upon which much Chicago money is lavished, was exhibited the archaeological reseasch of Professor James Henry Breasted, whose red-bound ancient history many a school must study. Through its local Community Research Committee, the University makes its closest contact with the city. In the research committee's workshop were shown compilations of information of education, commerce, government,? labor, vice and the gangsterism for which Chicago is ill-famed, to which the University is a standing...
