ODI PROFANUM

Tomorrow morning the details of the House Plan will be announced for the first time to the majority of Harvard undergraduates. The pamphlet which will be sent to all students will initiate most members of the college into the secret rites which were instituted a year ago when the sudden news of the change of destiny of future Harvard men was first borne to the ears of an unsuspecting student body.

But if the news is new to the majority it only throws into sharper relief the veil of darkness which has clung like the Eleusinian mysteries over the social ideal so cannily supported by a foreign financial power. For with no uncertain show of favoritism, select groups of men have already been let in on the secret while the rest loiter about the doors of the exclusive House Plan Club and wait with a degree of hopefulness such as attended the coming of the Ford.

Perhaps the engineers of the plan were wise in keeping the mob at bay, knowing that the flattery of being allowed to join the elect would dim the judgement of the fawning majority and insure a complete subjection to the wills of those that rule.
