Just eight months ago King Edward VIII trudged through the coal dust of South Wales "Distressed Areas" on what the British press called his "errand of mercy" (TIME, Nov. 30). After looking at the treeless, blackened hillsides, the abandoned coal mines, the pitiful brick hovels, the haggard faces of the inhabitants, more than 45,000 of whom were unemployed and only 2,000 employed at the time, His Majesty exclaimed publicly: "Something must be done for Wales...

...aspersions should be cast on this addition to Winthrop because of its appearance.

But nevertheless, for Harvard to be forced to open a tiny unit like the Riverside hall, which will indeed barely scrape the surface of a really important habitation problem, is for the University to admit just how difficult that problem has become.
