...ONLY is there much greater interaction with members of one's House community, but students are drawn into academic and extracurricular activities through which students make and reinforce relationships with others--dramatic productions, musical activities, House courses, and others. While activities of this sort exist on a college-wide level, the fact remains that, due to the goals and structure of the House system, students in general have much more frequent contacts with those in their own House, and it is much easier to form and maintain relationships inside the House than outside...
...grass-tufted upcountry savannas of southern Guyana yield profits only to the rawest, roughest kind of rancher, but Ben Hart was that sort of man. Immigrating from South Dakota in the early 1900s, he married a half-breed of Amerindian-Scotch parentage and fathered six boys as tough as he.

Yet in the world of words of the Augustan Age, he was a Gulliver among Lilliputians...
...hedges on the long-range problems of instituting mixed housing. There may be legal difficulties requiring some kind of merger between Harvard and Radcliffe, and it is not clear whether sexually segregated housing can be or ought to be retained for those who prefer it. But these are the sort of problems one hopes could be worked out during the trial period. The only trouble with the experiment itself is that it may make some undergraduates move who would rather stay put. No one should be forced to move any further than to a room in another entry...
