...exhibit locates the ninth House, along with a still more indefinite tenth, on University-owned property along the Charles beyond Dunster House. Still further down the river, it is speculated, there will be a cooperative apartment house, open like any other apartment to the public, but possibly financed and certainly strongly supported by Harvard...
...Geology, the Institute of Biology, an addition to Jefferson, Wigglesworth Hall (completing the "cloistering" of the Yard), the Faculty Club, and the mammoth Indoor Athletic Building--all were under way, and some ready to be opened. But the center of attraction remained a cluster of neo-Georgian structures along the river--Lowell's new Houses.

There he flaps about in baggy fisherman's corduroys, roams the beaches with a red setter named Jenny, and drives about in a mud-clotted, war-surplus Hillman. He gets along well with the islanders, but fumes at the excessive pace (30 m.p.h.) of Al-derney's three cabs. He seldom ventures from the island these days, but during the war he prowled western Ireland, and his latest book is a memoir of these years, vagrant and various...
