...College authorities that the Senior class for the past few years has been able to take for itself three buildings at the north end of the Yard, and the future of the Senior dormitory scheme is by no means assured. From the standpoint of the Seniors, it has invariably proven satisfactory in spite of the handicap assumed at the start in the peculiar assignment of the rooms; but on the other hand, there is the excellent contention that a mixture of men of all classes, of law and graduate students even, is the best possible arrangement for a dormitory...

All men wishing to be permanently identified with the Class of 1907 should send in their "Class Lives" as soon as possible. Men who have not received blanks, or who have lost them, may obtain others by sending a postal card to the Secretary, Box D, Cambridge. The fact that...
