...application deadline. The reason for eliminating transfer admissions—a housing crunch—certainly did not appear out of thin air. The act of eliminating transfer admissions undermines the Harvard admissions philosophy. Had Harvard read the current applications and decided that none were qualified enough to warrant further housing strain, the decision not to admit transfers would have seemed warranted.

Sometimes busy days warrant trays, Martin said, “Heaven forbid you break your arm,” she added. The test run in Quincy reflects a trend in university dining halls across the country. St. Joseph’s College in Maine first introduced trayless dining this fall. Several other colleges...
