There is little point in discussing at length the value and importance of these organizations, both to themselves and as part of Harvard College. Nor is it necessary to show why they have a right to live. Every one of them, it is safe to assume, has justified its existence as a social institution. Yet when the House Plan threatens to force most of them, perhaps all of them, to give up the ghost, it seems only fair that the administration be duly considerate of all the circumstances, and protect the interests of the many organizations which have been...
...goes away weekends, has a club, and is forced carefully to budget his board allowance is still in as bad a position as before. The difference of four meals is absurdly out of proportion with the one dollar reduction in price of the new proposal. In other words the man who selects the lower rate will have to pay an average of $.25 for the four extra meals or lose money.

Such organizations have a successful prototype in the Metropolitan lunch clubs, and would perform a valuable service in bringing men of different Houses together several times a week. A revision of the club system in this direction would retain most of the real advantages of the present system and do away with the isolated clique tendency which finds its fullest and worst development in so many other American...
