NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Full page photographs of the Harvard House Plan in operation recently appeared in Germany in the Berlin Illustrated News. The two pictures, both of Leverett House, were presented with the caption, "How American Students Live." They were taken by Dr. Erich Solomon of Berlin who visited the University a few weeks ago and photographed the houses, the Yard, and other buildings, and prominent members of the faculty. Some of his pictures appeared in "Fortune" some time ago.

One picture represents students at work in the McKinlock Hall Library, while the other pictures meal-time in the dining-hall. The caption is later qualified by the statement, "How the Students of Harvard University, Cambridge (U.S.A.) Live." The explanation under the latter photograph says, "In the dining-room of one of the student dormitories of Harvard University, which, like most institutions of higher learning in America, owes its splendid accommodations and gigantic establishment to private individuals."
