He will chair the Faculty's discussion of the housing system--on February 15, probably with the same gavel, Sherlock Holmes pipe and good humor that he employed at the CHUL meeting. The decisions are ultimately his. Making a prediction here would resemble nothing so much as a dancing upon an already cracking limb. But a brief word of advice: freshmen shouldn't plan on enjoying Canaday's generosity next year, nor should...
