<p>Whet, I'll have to disagree with you here, and I have some standing to make my case, having been an undergraduate at Princeton and a law student at Harvard. It was extremely rare for us to see undergraduates on our campus at the law school (even though it borders on Harvard Yard.) I can't remember seeing more than a handful of undergraduates in our libraries and I can assure you that our presence at the university had absolutely no effect on the programs you've noted in your post. </p>
<p>It IS the case, however, that the opposite was true. I personally, and a great many of my classmates were regular patrons at Widener and heavy users of the resources at that library and others. This was unavoidable since many of our research papers necessarily ranged beyond strictly legal questions and could only be researched in the general stacks in the Yard. In that sense we were far more a drain on the resources available to the undergraduates than they were a drain on those available to us. </p>
<p>I would agree that the medical school students and the business school students were different. Their main campus facilities were so far away from the undergraduate campus that they weren't around nearly as much.</p>
<p>So, f.scottie's points are at least somewhat valid but it's easy to overstate the case. There is little or no evidence to suggest that our presence at the university was a boon to the undergraduates (unless it was to chastise them from time to time over infantile behavior in public places!)</p>
<p>And, Whet, you really need to change your screen name.</p>
