Off-Campus Rooms

The Committee on Student Residence, headed by Dean Lloyd K. Neidlinger, announced recently that starting with the fall of 1936 no apartment buildings, business blocks, houses open to transients, houses open to women roomers, and large buildings where students have formerly been accommodated will be approved for student residence.

In making this departure from its previous policy, the Committee stated that it was making this change known a year in advance in order to advise landlords against making investments based upon the return from student roomers, and to urge the owners of buildings conditionally approved to seek other uses for their property.

The Committee has let it be known that it still looks with special favor upon rooms for student occupancy in residences restricted to the landlord's family and not more than six students, where it is certain that the student will be well cared for and where conditions will discourage any departure from the recognized standards of good conduct.

The list of places approved by the College as off-campus rooming houses for 1935-36 was announced about the middle of April. The Committee on Student Residence stipulates that a competent adult must be in residence and authority at each off-campus place, but still holds that each landlord may decide what privileges and restrictions students shall have.
