...evident that most of the Harvard Club presidents have been convinced that the "terrible individualism" of Harvard students and the great size of the University has produced a rift in undergraduate social solidarity which can only be remedied by such an attractive panacea as the House Plan theoretically provides. Most of the favorable statements are made by men who have been out of College over twenty years.

...panacea for the many educational ills of the college is being offered, but few deny the tendencies of the times. Separation of the two groups of students is being considered and has been considered. Yale is pondering the Third College at this moment. But as long as such steps as the Reading Period innovation are being taken, it is imperative to recognize the fact that only about half the undergraduate body is benefited. On all too many has the latest seed from University Hall been wasted. Then in the future only the appreciative would have the opportunities presented...
