Masters Consider Fate of Gore; Adams, Lowell Want Part of Hall

The fate of Gore Hall will be considered tonight at a Housemasters' meeting to determine the authority of Leverett's claims to the Winthrop dormitory.

Meanwhile two other Masters jumped into the battle to obtain parts of Gore, and in response to a statement made yesterday by Winthrop's Allston Burr Senior Tutor, the Leverett House Civic Improvement Society announced that it was preparing to fight for its demands.

Adams and Lowell Houses declared yesterday that if Leverett was going to get some of Winthrop, they wanted some too. Reubon A. Brower, Master of Adams, proposed that "Gore be divided up into entries for the different Houses, as Claverly is." His motion will be taken up at the Housemasters' meeting tonight.

Asked last night if Lowell House wanted some of Gore, Master Elliott Perkins '23 said. "Such is our desire."

Two other Housemasters will block Brower's motion at tonights meeting, however. Winthrop's Master Ronald M. Ferry '12 declared yesterday that he will right to retain Gore as a part of his House at all costs.

"With everybody wanting if, it must be pretty desirable. We can't possibly Fed it go," he said.

But Gordon M. Fair, Master of Dunster House, expressed so interest in obtaining a Gore Hall entry. "We don't want any of it," he stated.

Professor of History and expert on the Far East John K. Fairbank '29 also is averse to dividing Gore. "Spheres of influence can only lead to another Boxer Rebellion," he commented.

Despite this recent opposition, the Leverett House Civic improvement Society is proceeding with its plans to join Gore to its own McKinleck Hall.

"If people are going to resist, we shall arm and march tomorrow." Arthur N. Schwartz '56, president of the LBCIS, asserted last night.
