...electrification made by the railroad. The lines between Philadelphia and New York are to be entirely electrified at a cost of over $100,000,000. The change from the present system to that of electrification will require six or seven years, for its completion. In carrying out this plan the railroad is looking forward to the time when the problem of providing transportation facilities will be an entirely different matter than it is at present. The electrified system will be adequate to supply New York City with transportation facilities when that city has a population of 30,000,000 inhabitants...
...article by Mr. Pond, Chairman of the School of Landscape Architecture, on the subject of the disposition of the new housing units finds many faults with the details of the Student Council plan, as might be expected when an authority views the suggestions of laymen.

...further examination of the proposed new House plan which is soon to be put into operation at Harvard reveals a great many interesting phases to those who see in the situation certain conditions which might be said to parallel those at Yale. To sum up the broadest aspect of the plan, it is projected subdivision of the University into smaller residential units, and the chief purpose will be an improvement of the social side of education by the promotion of better understanding between diverse groups of students and the establishment of more thorough contacts between students and instructors or tutors...
Another parallel situation which the inception of a similar plan of subdivision might ameliorate is the absolute lack of unity of any description since the class, as a solid group, has become extinct. There would be the hope that in centering men from all three of the upper classes of the College in small quadrangles truly organic groups might result which could be called unified. There should be the sense of comradeship which used to be inherent in the old class system, before they became too large. By throwing together men of widely varying mental equipment and cultural interests there...
