The selection of House members has been made partly on the basis of the "cross-section" plan and partly on the basis of scholarship. Because of this, it is not expected that any appreciable increase in vacancies in the Houses will occur. Preference will be given...
...will result in a great improvement in facilities for instruction. In the past, the classes have met in the Institute of Geographical Exploration, and at meetings where charts were employed, it has been necessary for each section to be scattered through three or four different rooms in order to obtain sufficient space. In the new quarters, it will be possible for an entire section to meet as a unit...
