...planning ahead for the future," writes Chairman Pond. After stating its hypothesis of a new and second Yard, the Council report reads, "The plan attached is merely a rough sketch intended to portray the Council's ideas. It does not pretend to be final or entirely accurate. The whole scheme should be gone over by competent architectural and landscape advisors. It is the basic idea which we consider sound." By advancing in this concluding paragraph practically the same major premise advocated by Mr. Pond, the Council has shielded its main suggestion somewhat from the vigourousness of the attack...
...there might be a general stimulation of the educational idea, the idea that the University is an institution of learning rather than "A finishing school for young men." Ideally, there should be the discouragement of cliques and small social whirlpools of any sort within the separate "houses", while their whole purpose would be the encouragement of intellectual endeavor as small groups with common cultural interests. As the President of the CRIMSON describes the House plan, the group must "compete with the centrifugal attractions of final clubs, activities, varsity athletics, cars, girls, Boston and New York...

...complete debacle of the liberal system and gave rise to the Fascist movement, which, in its essence is a revolt against liberalism. Mussolini, as dictator, is the new state, and his chief aim is the galvanization of the nation's effort for the good of the whole. Hence his hostility to the parliamentary government and his attempt to reorganize the economic and social structure of the country. The movement is certainly a natural one. Whether it is a salutary one is another question. It might have been better for countries like Italy to have passed through a period of conservative...
...building program. But this could only be a corollary to the project of the Yard, and as long as the new Houses are not arranged so as to disrupt the area entirely as an entity the undergraduate plea will be answered. If the idea behind the whole House plan prevents a symmetrical arrangement and a harmonious architecture, there is no definite reason why one unit should stare placidly across a vista at its exact reproduction. As long as the site favor a development which lacks the crowded discord of mushroom growth, anything short of futuristic pattern for the buildings...
