More moderate critics regard the House Plan as a move which will, by various checks and balances, avoid either of these extremes. Little is safe to predict other than that the housing quarters will be newer than the present dormitories, the Yard will no longer be the center of domiciliary attraction, the restaurants on the Square will lose money, the Houses will supplant the classes in intra-mural rivalry, the members of the undergraduate body and the faculty will be in a more favorable position for the development of mutual understanding, and real estate prices on the Charles will rise...
