Leighton Comments On House Mergers

"Harvard-Radcliffe joint education activities in the Houses are really nothing new at Harvard," Delmar Leighton '19, Master of Dudley House, said yesterday in reference to recent "mergers" between Harvard Houses and Radcliffe dormitories.

Leighton pointed out that Dudley has had joint tutorial sessions and concentration dinners since 1952, and that a Harvard-Radcliffe Undergraduate Art Exhibition was held in that House in 1957. "The wives of the more than 100 married students belonging to this House have long been welcome at meals and in any activities," he added.

Praising the Student Council for its efforts last year to help Harvard and Radcliffe extra-curricular organizations merge, Leighton commented, "I am always in favor of joint educational activities."
