...March 20, Dartmouth on March 27, and Lawrence High School on April 19. The season will come to a close with the Harvard-Yale-Princeton triangular debate on April 26. This debate, the question of which is to be decided later, is to be held on the Oxford Plan, each team having three speakers, with the decision being rendered by the audience. The negative teams will travel. Harvard's going to New Haven and Princeton's coming here...
Approximately three years ago a plan was adopted by Johns Hopkins University by which the students were permitted to enter the graduate schools at the end of their sophomore year rather than requiring the regular four year college course. The object of this innovation was to give the advanced student more time to devote to his particular field, thus acquiring greater efficiency. Now, at the end of three years, a report on the system declares that all of the men working under it are doing well. From the point of view of modern education, however, this project is at fault...
...interview in today's CRIMSON Mr. Williams, president of the Associated Harvard Clubs, points out three significant aspects of the new House plan which, while not altogether unconsidered, will bear iteration.

Secondly, he points to the unanimous favor of graduates and tries to build up a case of undergraduate approval. Thirdly, he admits that the details of the plan should be given the most careful attention...
...Williams' statement that ignorance causes the opposition to the House plan may be qualified. It must be pointed out that a lack of complete understanding of a thing is a very good reason for opposing it. If Mr. Williams is true, it is not the fault of those who are ignorant, but of those who refuse to alleviate this ignorance, that the House plan, shrouded in suspicious darkness, has met with more opposition than the interview would lead one to believe. It was a serious mistake to acquaint undergraduates and graduates with such a momentous innovation by means of sensational...
...Williams, however, is too optimistic in his general observations upon the success of the House plan and its long endurance. It is just as possible that many who favor the plan are influenced by lack of information as those who oppose it. He is certainly true when he says that the great majority of undergraduates know nothing about the plan. The CRIMSON referendum of two years ago, almost forgotten in the renewal of the question this year, definitely proves that even undergraduate ignorance and indifference refused to sanction the proposed plan and voted against its adoption. There is no reason...
