But, in spite of all this, it has yet to acquire the one thing that many undergraduates would most wish to see—a student center. In fact, what might be the closest thing the campus has to such a venue—Lamont Café—is located in a library. Therefore, in its prospective plans to investigate a purchase of 45 Mt. Auburn Street—the building that formerly housed the Democracy Center?...
