Although the tutorial system should not be made the basis of the House Plan--the House Plan is larger and wider in its implications than this system which is merely part of a coordinated education--yet it must be expanded and broadened as the facilities for its administration increase. Chemistry is now the only major department that remains without a general examination and there is no valid reason for its failure to fall into line...
Students in the Harvard Engineering School are not to be allowed to apply for the first two units of the House Plan. Whether, in time, this group will be included, or whether separate quarters will be provided for it is still in doubt. But before the problem of the disposal of these some 200 students is finally solved, it is necessary to note both the lack of fairness and the lack of wisdom in separating the Engineering School from the remainder of the College...
...Engineering School lacks the tutorial system, and the argument is raised that, as this system is one of the features of the House Plan, the engineers will have no place in the new units. But for have no place in the new units. But for this very reason it is all the more vital for the future bachelors of science to live under the cultural atmosphere and have the benefit of the social aspects of the House idea. The engineering students are too small in number to form an adequate group for themselves, all the more so since they have...
...important aspect of the plan is that a competing school need not send any of its boys to Harvard. Of the winning group this year, three, H.H. Bissell '33, with an average of 91.3 per cent, R.C. Wells '33, with 89.8 per cent, and W.H. Stein '33, with 89.25 per cent are at Harvard; two, B.B. Priest, with 91.91 per cent, and R.H. Jordan, with 90.15 per cent, went to Yale; and the others, R.H. Harris, Jr., with 90.50 per cent, and R.C. Gordon, Jr., with 89 per cent, went to Princeton...
Harvard alumni who have attended football games in the Stadium this Fall have remarked on the unusual amount of building in progress on the Cambridge side of the river. They knew in a vague way that most of the work was part of Harvard's "house plan," but they had no conception of what they would see next Fall. The architects' drawings, published yesterday, of the two Houses now under construction, promise structures of impressive grandeur. Possibly in recognition of the beauty of the spire on the Business School library, they have planned towers for each of these...
