Director chittenden announced last
week that at a recent meeting of the
governing board of the Sheffield
Scientific school. it was decided to
adopt the recommendation made by
the senior council of the school, that
the Vanderbilt Scientific dormitories
and other dornitories on the Wander
bile square, commencing with the year
1916-1917, be given up exclusively for
the use of the members of the fresh
man class of the Sheffield Scientific
school. The two Vanderbilt dorrni-
tories, the dormitory floor Of Byers'
square will, it is thought, accommo-
date at least the larger number of
the members Of the freshman class.
This action will result in bringing all
Of the Shelf. freshmen together and
should prove beneficial in many ways.
This coming year. however, 1915-1916,
the dormitories will be occupied main
~ by upper classmen, as heretofore,
although some rooms will be allotted
to freshmen. This change will tend
to unite the class and raise the morals
of the class, thing which cannot be
accomplished under the present sys-
tenn. When the first Vanderbilt dor
mitory was built it was thought that
the seniors should be given the privi-
lege Of enjoying it. When the Sec
ond dormitory was built it was pos
sible to house practically all of the
juniors and seniors within the square.
Now it is deemed advisable to change.
After next year the juniors and Sc
niors will room outside as the fresh
men do at present. 1t is hoped that
in the future dormitories will be built
which will enable all men who do
not room in the society houses to find
quarters on the Shelf. campus. This
decisive action has taken as a sequel
to that taken by the college au-
thorities at the first of the year when
1916 the academic juniors would be
forced to find rooms off of the campus.
