Senior Dormitories Discussed

At a well-attended meeting of the Junior class, held in the Dining Room of the Union last night, after musical entertainment by various members of the class, and the University quartet, Senior dormitories were discussed.

L. Withington, Jr., '11, explained the benefits of the system which had accrued to his class. It has unified the class, and presented some unexpected advantages, such as facilitating the work of the Seniors in making the Freshmen feel at home. The Juniors should follow the example of the Seniors and go into the Senior dormitories.

President Lowell said that a college was a collection of men making friends, and meeting their fellows. The Senior dormitory system encourages this, and its benefits have been well exemplified by the present Senior class; for since classes became so large there has been none so united or harmonious.

Senior Dormitory Applications Due Jan. 25

Applications for rooms in Hollis, Holworthy, Stoughton, and Thayer, by members of next year's Senior class, are due on or before Wednesday, January 25, which applications should be sent to "1912 Dormitory Committee," Phillips Brooks House. Assignment is to be made by lot in which preference will be accorded to the larger units up to 12.

The rooms available next year are: Holworthy, west entry, eight rooms; middle entry, seven rooms; east entry, seven rooms; Hollis, south entry, 15 rooms; north entry, 16 rooms; Stoughton, south entry, 14 rooms; north entry, 15 rooms; Thayer, north entry, 23 rooms; middle entry, 18 rooms; south entry, 20 rooms.

All applications should be sent to the committee with the signatures of the members in sealed envelopes, on the out-side of which some fictitious name should be written for identification, as well as the number of signatures the envelope contains; the order of preference, not of rooms, but of entries, and the number of rooms desired. Preference will be given in the assignments of Hollis and Stoughton to applications calling for three men in two rooms, over two men in two rooms, such combinations not being possible in Holworthy and Thayer. In stating a preference on the envelope, each group should name every entry in order of choice, so that if the first choice cannot be filled others may be considered in order.

A name appearing in more than one application will cause each group to be cast out. It is understood that by making an application a man pledges himself to abide by the allotment of the committee.

The Dormitory Committee will hold office of Phillips Brooks House daily from 10 to 1 beginning today. These desiring plans or further information can call during the hours.
