...outlined so far by University authorities, sufficiently clear to render lengthy discussion here unnecessary. Briefly it considers the present social organization of Harvard College, allowing as it does every student unlimited range and absolute freedom to choose and change his associates, greatly preferable to any forced melting pot scheme such as that envisaged by the House Plan. It has been unable to discover, more-over, educational advantages of the new arrangement which might offset this loss in social flexibility. Finally the CRIMSON regrets the philanthropy which, blind to the notorious inadequacy of tutorial staffs, professorial salaries, and even lecture room...

As the gap widens between lecturer and student the tutor's position becomes increasingly important and increasingly difficult.

After stating its hypothesis of a new and second Yard, the Council report reads, "The plan attached is merely a rough sketch intended to portray the Council's ideas. It does not pretend to be final or entirely accurate. The whole scheme should be gone over by competent architectural and landscape advisors. It is the basic idea which we consider sound." By advancing in this concluding paragraph practically the same major premise advocated by Mr. Pond, the Council has shielded its main suggestion somewhat from the vigourousness of the attack...
