...susceptible Freshman than to the blase Senior. With most of the upperclassmen separated from the College office proper by an intermediary House master, the Freshman class will be the almost important group directly under University Hall supervision. This proximity of the first year class further enhances a distribution plan whose guiding impulse is practically...

Weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives, the sequestration of Freshman classes in the Yard after the House plan has fully gone into effect would seem to offer the auspicious solution of a problem which has as its issue, either the Freshmen being removed from their present quarters, or the new Houses being scattered from the banks of the Charles to the interior of the Yard...
