THE JUNIOR ALLOTMENT.

If there was yesterday any question as to the merits of the new Senior dormitory system, there is none today. All that was claimed for it has been clearly vindicated by the unprecedented demand for rooms in the Yard. Last year, including both first and second assignments, there were 138 successful applicants. In yesterday's allotment 120 men secured rooms, and there were besides these 110 men whose applications failed. In other words, there are almost enough applicants left over to fill the three entries of Thayer. All that remains to be said, is that with some slight improvements Thayer will also be very desirable as a Senior dormitory, and that if the excellent spirit shown so far is maintained, we shall have four Senior dormitories instead of three.
