Denied Winter Campus Housing, International Students Scramble to Find Alternative Options
The Radio School is packing its baggage anticipating its removal to the Great Lakes School at Chicago. The Officers' Material School has not long to live. In fact, all the war institutions that were billetted on the University will soon pass out of our lives and their students be dispersed over the continent.
In the short time these guests of ours have been with us we have not become closely acquainted with them, and they, through the natural restrictions of the military life, have been unable to form a very complete idea of what Harvard is and what the name stands for. At the same time we hope that their experience here has been broad enough to correct the mistaken ideas many of them brought with them. Some, coming from a distance, had been fortified in the impression that Harvard stood for nothing but snobbishness, affectation, and intolerance for everything not moulded in our accustomed forms. If we believe this we should not be here now. If we were not firmly convinced that our ideals pointed to a healthy democracy, that our plan of life offered an ever-increasing opportunity to each individual for self-realization we could hardly have built up the faith that carries us onward. We are therefore thankful that we had the facilities to offer the Radio School and the Ensign School, that other men might come here and form a fairer estimate of our way of living and of our intentions.
