Students in the Harvard Engineering School are not to be allowed to apply for the first two units of the House Plan. Whether, in time, this group will be included, or whether separate quarters will be provided for it is still in doubt. But before the problem of the disposal of these some 200 students is finally solved, it is necessary to note both the lack of fairness and the lack of wisdom in separating the Engineering School from the remainder of the College...
Each House is intended to comprise as nearly as may be a cross-section of the whole residential membership of the college, to be selected by the Masters and their assistants from the applicants. I say from the applicants because there seems at present little doubt that for the two new Houses, to be finished in September, 1930, there will be more than applicants enough of all kinds: and when the plan is complete, students are unlikely to want to be left out of a system substantially universal.

But the reasons for locating the Bank in Switzerland are clear, and it is difficult to see how the balance could be overweighted except in favor of some other country which holds the same neutral position as Switzerland, and at the same time boasts an age-old reputation as a European banking center...
