All applications for Senior dormitory rooms must be in the hands of the Committee by Tuesday, January 20, at 6 o'clock. Any application coming in late will be considered only after allotment has been made for those received on time. The blanks should be left in the Senior Dormitory Room in Phillips Brooks House sealed in the envelopes provided for that purpose. Envelopes and blanks may be obtained at Phillips Brooks House, the Union and Leavitt & Peirce's. Each envelope must bear a fictitious name, the real names of the applicants to appear only on the enclosed blanks.
Applicants should indicate their several choices in the order in which they are preferred, naming the dormitory, entry and floor, but not the rooms, of each suite. In order to obviate any arbitrary action on the part of the committee, at least 20 choices must be specified. Groups will be considered in the order of their size, groups of 12, which are the largest allowed, receiving first consideration. Among groups of equal size those applying for fewer rooms will have the preference over those applying for more. In Hollis and Stoughton three or four men may apply for two rooms, that is a group of 12 men may apply for as many as 8 rooms and for not less than 6 rooms. In Holworthy, however, on account of a college regulation only two men can occupy a suite. Thus a group of 12 may apply for 6 suites in Holworthy for first, second or third choice and for 3 or 4 suites or 6 or 8 rooms in Hollis or Stoughton for fifth, sixth or seventh choice as the case may be. Each group should select a chairman who can act for it if necessary.
Good Chance for Small Groups.
The committee wishes to emphasize the fact that smaller groups have an excellent chance of obtaining desirable suites, inasmuch as there will be space in each entry for smaller groups after the aplications of twelve-men groups are filled.
The following rules have been laid down by the committee: A name appearing on more than one application will cause each application affected to be thrown out. In making application, a man pledges himself to abide by the allotment of the committee. Only men who entered College with the class of 1915, or who expect to graduate with it, may make application. Any man who is in doubt as to his classification should have his name verified by the chairman of the committee. The committee is sending out return postal cards which are to be filled out and remailed, in order that the necessary arrangements may be made with the Office. If enough men apply, the South entry of Matthews will be fitted with electric lights and steam heat for the Seniors' use. Beginning today the committee will hold office hours in Brooks House daily, except Saturday, between 5 and 6 o'clock, to receive applications and to furnish information regarding rooms, prices, and the like. Information may also be had from C. F. Damon, Hampden 6
