University of Chicago.

President Harper of the Chicago University has put into execution a new system with regard to the dormitories of the university. Seven of these have just been built, three of which are for women.

The charter members of a house are the occupants at the time of organization. It is the policy of the university to hand over to each house so far as possible the entire management of its dormitory. The head of the house is appointed by the president and is usually a fellow or instructor. Each house accepts its constitution from the trustees.
