...Varsity Club and Weld Boat House and the forty others living out in "rooms for service." The objective of getting all students into Houses, regardless of their grades, is a good one, but it is hard to see how this proposal "would not affect the Group IV rank list scholarship requirement." Money raised for this purpose would mean less money for scholarships, because the appeal for funds in both cases would be based on the same grounds (unless the appeal would be specifically for the non resident athletes, in which case it would be an even worse injustice).
