...year men are making a herd rush for the larger and newer Houses. It is to be hoped that all those men who fail to obtain the desired House will cooperate as much as possible in the present difficult situation by not complaining. The authorities will in fact, be wise if they do the greater part of the adjusting with those groups of friends entering together, since the men in these groups, missing the desired House, will at least have the expected company in whatever unit they are allotted...

...some indication of the prevailing spirit in the fact that Leverett was the last to retain a House Committee selected by the master. Some attempt to graft consciousness of the Houe Plan onto the residents has been made by the new elective committee, but it is still considered wise to insure the success of a dance by banding together with Adams. In other directions, paradoxically, the committee has met with success; the library is kept up to date, and the Music Room, an idea which originated in the House, has an excellent, though limited collection of records...
