Freshman Attraction

In the good old days of horse there was all the difference in the world between driving a span and driving tandem. Until the "Annex", growing into Radcliffe, came into existence, Harvard was on a strictly one-horse basis, with no necessity of choosing between the two methods of "hitching up." From the entrance of girls upon the educational scene it adopted the tandem plan, and, except for the Graduate School of Education, has clung to it with a masculine tenacity. Now it is announced that the women students in the Summer School of this year of grace are to be housed in the Yard dormitories. Why not? They have been accommodated hitherto in the Freshman Halls along the Charles, and, since the freshmen are to be transplanted next year into the Yard, what is more natural than that the young women of the Summer School should precede them there?

The tandem method, be it noted, is still in effect, and co-education at Harvard will remain where it has long stood. This should be a comforting thought to those who will doubtless wag their heads in sadness over the spectacle of girls lounging on the door-steps of Holworthy, or the sound of feminine voices attempting a raucous "Rinchart" only to produce a penetrating "Mary Roberts."
