...member of the present Student Council I am rather disturbed by the rapidly degenerating Council relations with the student body and its ability to handle expeditously, sincerely, and democratically regular Council business.

Each of five "halls"--one for women, four for men--has its own dining room, sports facilities, social activities, and student government, and inter-hall competition is keen on many fronts. As at Lowell House, the hall dining rooms feature high tables--small but significant reminders of a larger debt owed by both...
