Architectural traditionalists will be relieved to know that the new campus in Allston will not resemble “a wild spaceship.” But advocates of the red brick and white moldings traditionally associated with the Harvard seal may still be disappointed. “What does the new Harvard look like?

...monarchy. Some speak of their frustration. Others, some mere children, are simply exhilarated at the chance to throw rocks at authority: before the violence started, many were singing and dancing in the streets."We're having some fun here, aren't we?" one shouted to me as he hurled brick after brick.
