Inasmuch as the dormitory scheme of the present Senior class, which resulted in bringing a large majority of the members into the Yard dormitories for their last year, has met with such signal success, not only as a means of uniting the class in a cleser community life, but also in making the last year the most enjoyable and democratic of the four, it seems highly desirable that 1912 should continue the policy. To that end a committee has been chosen to work out the details of the plan which will appear at a later date...
