Located between the Square and Cronin's on Dunster Street, Dudley Hall is an ugly building with a nearly colorless basement and first level parceled out to the commuter. Over a block on Holyoke Street, next to the Hasty Pudding, is Apley Court, where tutorial offices, a bunk room, and a small library are available. For many commuters, the only clear satisfaction with the Center's facilities is the convenience of the place for "having a good talk with your buddies." While University officials debate whether to integrate the commuters into the house system as non-resident members or make...
Another jump in that direction was the acquisition of Apley Court two years ago, now used for offices, temporary sleeping quarters, and the new library. Whereas the separation of Dudley from Apley is more a mental block than a real one, the scarcity of space already looms as a definite inconvenience. Apley's Bunk Room has enough beds for only ten men, which may well fall short of the usual exam period desire for some kind of overnight accommodations.

A 57-year-old creation of the famous Gold Coast, Apley is now an unusual combination of collaborate architecture and a functional interior...
Novelist John P. Marquand's late George Apley, a dedicated Bostonian who liked to watch birds and deplored progress, never had it like this. Beginning last week Boston's bird watchers could get a bulletin on what to look for simply by dialing Kenmore 6-4050. Mrs. Ruth P. Emery, co-editor of Records of New England Birds, asked the telephone company to install an answering machine beside her desk. A recording of the current bulletin, previously made by her, goes over the wire when a call comes in. A tape recorder takes down incoming information...
