Dudley

Yes, adventurous freshman, you too can choose Dudley House. Even without getting married. Because over a third of the House members live in some sort of University housing.

And all of Dudley's University rooms cost less than regular House rooms. Perhaps, if you try hard enough, you can get a room in the "Dudley entries of Wigg" and eat where you want, free of the University board charges. Or, with less trouble, you can move into one of the Cooperative Houses, located up Mass. Ave, near Radcliffe. There you can definitely halve your room and board costs, and, reportedly, enjoy innumerable sumptuous home-cooked meals made by myraids of motherly Cliffies. For the particularly industrious, there are room-for-service arrangements and even positions as apartment house janitors. And, just possibly, if you can persuade some psychiatrist that you are unfit for regular House life, dormitory living, and central kitchen food, you might even be allowed to live in an apartment.

As a catch-all of married students, commuters living at home or using a bed in Wigg during the week, the Co-op people, and others who have returned from a year off to an apartment, Dudley offers as interesting a conglomeration of warm bodies as you will find in the College.

In fact, next year that pot-pourri will bubble even more. Most of Dudley's facilities will move into the fourth floor of a renovated Lehman Hall. And the rest of Lehman is going to be turned into Crossroads-Harvard. There will be lounge and study facilities, a reference library and television classroom for Harvard's hitherto mysterious night students, and what will nominally be the Dudley House Dining Hall--and in reality a combination Waldor-Elsie's Pamplona. The dining room, according to Dudley's Master Thomas E. Crooks, "will serve as a central meeting place where students and teachers can discuss anything from grades to Vietnam over coffee and donuts."
