Summary
The "Greek Row" of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is significant in the areas of education and of community planning and development. These houses were not just residences, but an environment that promoted character and social position for many young college students. The clustering of the houses was the result of many factors, which include the expansion of the city campus due to the doubling of enrollment, the adoption of the Seymour Plan, and the university's inability to provide student dormitories.
