Since the class of 1918 was the first to live in the Freshman dormitories, its progress has been watched with particular closeness by all interested in the ultimate success of the new system. A comparison between the number of men from 1918 desiring to live in the Yard, and the number from this year's Senior Class shows that over sixty more Juniors applied for rooms this year. Although it cannot be concluded from this fact that the Freshman dormitories are a great improvement over the scattered plan of rooming of former classes, it is evident that a more universal feeling of unity exists among the members of 1918 than in pat classes or recent date. Usually the different dormitory committees have had to use every means at their command to get practically the entire class to room in the Yard. The encouraging number of this year's applications fifty more than can be filled at present, can be traced to the influence of the Freshman dormitories. This is one of the first evident instances where the new scheme of keeping the Freshmen together during the first year has proved superior to the old system.
