STYLE FOR STUDENTS STRAYS TOWARD STUDY, JANITORS SAY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

"Less fun and more studies" has been the trend among students during the last ten years, according to both Archibald C. McConnell and Joseph Brady, Janitors of Adams and Lowell Houses.

McConnell says, "Take any 100 Harvard men and they'll average up better than any other 100 men you can find. They're intelligent, democratic, and they use very little profanity. And that's becoming more true every year."

Brady claims that students now-a-days are a "better crop for studying" than they were years ago. He believes that the house plan and the consequent influence of older men on frivolous underclassmen has brought about this change.
