To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

There is a feeling among many members of Adams House that our particular house is being discriminated against in many ways. For example, members of Eliot House have been enjoying hot water for baths for the last three days. Adams House men who return to college a few days early must either bathe in cold water, a process hazardous to the health in these uncertain September days, or not bathe at all, a process hazardous to one's social standing as some of us have found.

If the House Plan was intended to accomplish a general cross-section of students, the equality yardstick of a cross-section should apply to House Masters, too. Just because the Master of Eliot House is six inches taller and has a voice pitched three octaves lower and ten tones louder than any House Master, is no reason why one House should have hot water and the others not have it. Tom W. C. Lilley '34.
