Where the hell did you dig this up? Ttan 06:03, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

Wait a minute- Hartley hall can't have been the firs undertaking to house students at a university. McCaughey clearly states that Columbia's commuter status was a major difference between it and other colonial-era founded schools. The Harkness money in 1929 went towards completing the house and res college systems, not starting them. Correct? Similarly, Princeton is now completing its res college system with the construction of a new college. 205.134.0.81 13:21, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
Nope. The Harkness money in the 1920s went toward building the House and Residential College system at H/Y. They did not exist beforehand, AFAIK. Princeton's residential college system was only put in place in the 1960s and 1970s. Ttan 15:20, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
