Yale Dormitory Plan Held Failure

That the present system of allotting rooms in the freshman dormitories at New Haven is inadequate is admitted by Dean Jones of Yale in an interview with a representative of the Yale News. The chief fault in the system is that the large preparatory school men, fully aware of the housing conditions at Yale, apply for rooms and congregate in one dormitory, thereby spoiling to a large degree a perfect class democracy, inasmuch as those men who enter from the smaller schools find it necessary to room elsewhere. He suggests a return to the system of drawing by lot, the privilege being limited to those men who have already passed their entrance examinations.
