IN 1925--WHAT?

Today's report of the Senior Dormitory Committee on rooms in the yard next year serves as one more emphatic proof of the ever-increasing need for new dormitories. Next year the Senior dormitories, Holworthy, Thayer, Hollis, Stoughton, and Grays are to be filled as they never have been before, and still there are applications unfilled. With the yearly increase in the enrollment this question promises to become more and more acute as time goes on. Where this year's committee had difficulty in assigning rooms, the committee four or five years hence, given no more rooms to allot, will be hopelessly swamped.

There is no time better than the present for stressing this point. As yet no decision has been reached on an appropriate war memorial, the suggestions offered ranging all the way from an Italian Campanile over the Rotunda, to a great Harvard Driveway to the Yard from the river, presumably pushing apart Claverly and Randolph in its eagerness to exhibit the University to the itinerant motorist. While the subject of a war memorial is still fresh in our minds, is it altogether inappropriate to repeat a suggestion already made to the Board of Overseers,--that of a new Quadrangle, which would be a permanent war memorial, respecting in every way the memory of the University's dead, and at the same time solving one of the most vital problems now confronting the University's living?
