Some suggestions for changes in the various details of House organization have been made and, naturally, will be made, which are of real value. But those made in regard to the board charge seem to be based on a misunderstanding. One of the primary advantages of the House Plan is that it can put a stop to continual "eating around", or rather that it affords an opportunity for congenial groups of men to have their meals, at board rates, in agreeable surroundings in the buildings in which they live.

...which are perfectly harmonious and balance one another," he said. The prevalence of adverse criticism of Dunster House tower among undergraduates was not considered justified by Mr. Aldrich. "The tower of Christ Church College at Oxford of course furnished the basic design for the plan, but that does not seem to me to be basis for adverse criticism. The use of an octangular tower crowned with a dome is one of the main features of a great deal of architecture, even as early as the seventeenth century," was his comment...
