The Valley News:

Hanlon reiterated his support for the creation at Dartmouth of a “house system” similar to those in existence at a majority of Ivy League colleges. That system, in which undergraduates have a stable affiliation with a residence hall where faculty are present, is aimed at “creating a greater variety of social options on campus,” he said. Dartmouth could create houses in existing residence buildings or clusters of such buildings, but without their own dining facilities, he said. The cost of the undertaking is currently being assessed by architects who recently visited the campus.¹Rick Jurgens, “Dartmouth President Phil Hanlon Shares His Vision, Discusses College’s Future,” Valley News (18 June 2014).

What’s left to distinguish the new neighborhood from the Eighties cluster? Perhaps only a faculty residence, if that.
