DORMITORY SOCIAL ROOMS

The policy of the College in providing in several of the dormitories rooms to serve as social headquarters for the occupants of the buildings appears to be justifying itself. It is an interesting fact that the idea of such rooms has taken firmer hold upon the occupants of the older dormitories than upon the occupants of the newer ones. Where rooms have been provided in the latest buildings, their use has been limited. Their existence has, however, created a demand for similar rooms in the older and less comfortably furnished buildings. The latest evidence of this is the recent request of the students of Thornton Hall to be allowed to equip such a room for themselves. The use of a room has been granted them by the Superintendent of Buildings, and its success already seems assured.
