INDIVIDUALITY OF YALE COLLEGES FOSTERED BY NEW EXCLUSION POLICY

New Haven, March 12 Exclusiveness has become a point of controversy in Yale's new College Plan, now in its first year of operation. Each individual College is reported to be tending toward restricting many House functions to its own members. To this end, some Colleges are attempting to form a "sympathetic" union with certain Houses at Harvard.

If theoretical plans are carried out, members of Pierson College, for instance, will be able to take board and lodgings gratis at Lowell House when in Cambridge, and Lowell House members would have similar opportunities in New Haven. Pierson has in fact, already made advances toward an association with Lowell House. Professor William Y. Elliott of Harvard attended Pierson's first banquet recently, at which President Angell discussed the subject, "college loyalty." Professor Elliott presented Pierson with a gold cigarette box as the gift of Lowell.

The tendency toward exclusiveness, according to the Yale News, is done "in a subtle, tactful manner by specifically withholding from members of other Colleges" invitations to lectures, recitals, and other functions in any one particular College.
