Inasmuch as the dormitory scheme of the present Senior class, which resulted in bringing a large majority of the members into the Yard dormitories for their last year, has met with such signal success, not only as a means of uniting the class in a cleser community life, but also in making the last year the most enjoyable and democratic of the four, it seems highly desirable that 1912 should continue the policy. To that end a committee has been chosen to work out the details of the plan which will appear at a later date...

The men who deserve election are those who have acquitted with credit the responsibilities they have shouldered, and those who have shown the most enduring as well as the keenest interest...
...discussion of academic rank, however, the questions of outside interests and standards of success must be considered. The goal for which the men from public schools try is largely high marks and mental training, and to this end they tend to sacrifice athletics and social diversions in general. On the other hand, the boarding-school graduate measures his success as an undergraduate by the prominence which he attains in fields of activity which are not purely scholastic. Consequently men of this group play the greater part in the broadening "outside interests"; and naturally enough do not or cannot devote...
