But Yale students seem quite as dissatisfied with the college system as Harvard students are with the House system. The musings of one Yale undergraduate, junior John Klingenstein '50, after a few drinks a week ago last night are a good example of this.
Student-Run
He envisaged colleges guided by student senates, which would "advise the Yale Athletic Association regarding allocations, suggest improvements in dining hall diets, and determine hours during which women would be allowed in the colleges.
He also mused of college lectures by famous people, "with individual lectures being given in each college." Student participation in such educational endeavors would be assured by a weekly intercollege forum "in which a panel of exports selected one from each college participate in discussions of current events."
Social Solution
A few more drinks elicited his solution to the problem of getting different types of students to mix. Merely install in each college a bar "to operate on Saturdays during the football season."
Harvard men have had such dreams about their Houses, too.
