To the Editors of the CRIMSON.

Where to live next year is an especially important question for the class of 1913. Since the management of the Senior Dormitories has been left to the classes an increasing number of men has lived in the Yard during their last year of undergraduate life. The instal- Lation of modern conveniences in all the Senior Dormitories has eliminated the objection formerly held against them.

It is the duty of every present Junior to live in the Yard next year. Unity is best effected by concentration of the class. This has been the experience of classes before ours. Men who live in the Yard now should move into the Senior Dormitories. They will find better equipments. Men living at home should spend the last year left to them with their class. No man whose time is divided between his home and his college can hope to get into the spirit of undergraduate life. It is in the evenings that much of the best in college life is seen. Men living in private houses and dormitories off the Yard should move into the only dormitories devoted exclusively to Seniors. Let us take advantage of this last chance really "to get together."

It has been the policy of former committees to provide that friends might live together. The success of the whole plan depends upon this and the present dormitory committee will undoubtedly adopt a similar policy.

The agents for the private dormitories are already soliciting renewals of contracts for the coming year. It is their desire to induce 1913 men to renew their contracts before the dormitory committee has an opportunity to meet and announce its plans. Last year these agents moved forward their date for soliciting renewals in order to anticipate the announcement of the committee. This year they have begun even earlier. The present committee is at work and will make its announcement within a few days. Wait for it.  H. J. SMITH '13
