...definite plan for the use of the dormitories in the Yard been decided upon. It has been suggested, however, that those dormitories will be used by members of the Freshman class, prior to their entering into one of the Houses. It was pointed out in the CRIMSON during the discussion last year that such an arrangement would seem to be not only practicable in relation to the mechanics of the House Plan but would be most advantageous from the point of view of the Freshmen. If tradition, associations and atmosphere can have any hold upon the undergraduate, there should...
...CRIMSON, has raised a question which has occupied the minds of many undergraduates. The general impression is that the ultimate fate of these dormitories has been definitely settled. This is not the case. A new experiment involving so many elements and with such wide ramifications as the Harvard House Plan cannot be definitely outlined at the very outset, and the eventual disposition of the Gold Coast dormitories remains as yet undetermined...
...comparatively recent origin and not a custom hoary with age as is generally supposed. Traditions become weighted with seeming importance through their long continuance, but they should not be allowed to interfere with real progress. It would be absolutely incompatible with the purpose and spirit of the House Plan to expect Seniors who had previously spent two years in one of the Houses to break the associations formed during this time and herd together in the Yard during their last year...

Next year it would be impracticable to attempt to superimpose house teams on class teams on account of the limited number of those who could take part, but eventually the problem will come up and will demand careful attention.

Will the house masters and tutors whose interests are admittedly on the academic side of the new development take time out of their regular duties to try to decide...
...much surprised to find, in the exposition of the House Plan appearing in the CRIMSON of November 26, not a word relating to the ultimate fate, under this plan, of the dormitories of the Gold Coast, and above all of those in the Yard. Surely the students of Harvard have a right to know what is to be done with these buildings...
