...cooperation of the Corporation in planning a dining hall to be strictly operated under the club table plan and to be located on the site of the old Catholic Church on the corner of Mt. Auburn and Holyoke Streets. He and Dr. Worcester will discuss that plan today. The success of this suggestion is necessarily conditioned by the amount of interest shown in the project among the undergraduates.

He therefore instituted the new plan admission rules whereby a candidate might take four general examinations in the broad fields covered by every first class school. The success of this innovation is illustrated by the following figures. In the year before the institution of the plan, 8.5 per cent of the students admitted came from the Atlantic States and 4.5 per cent from west of the Alleghanies. In the first year after the operation of the new plan...
