...been fewer than 3700. And there are now actually fewer rooms available than twenty-five years ago. Approximately 1200 more students live in the existing facilities than they were built to accommodate. Each House has a large number of "members" for whom there is no place in the House. Upperclass students have backed up into the Yard. They fill not only the Houses and Claverly Hall, but now also the Freshmen's Wigglesworth Hall. There is an immense backlog of building need here to be met. One House immediately, two more as quickly as they...
