...very well, critics say, to want to achieve a perfect "interpenetration of outdoor and indoor space"; but even Le Corbusier could not get around the fact that for those on the inside, the "outdoor spaces" are going to seem rather full of the center's Georgian red brick neighbors. As for Le Corbusier's famous concrete sunbreakers, one professor thinks that they show "a fantastically optimistic opinion of the amount of sunlight there is in Cambridge." And finally, since the asymmetrical building is wrapped around symmetrically spaced pilotis, the structural columns are apt to rise any old place...
President Patricia C. Jones '64 of Warner House stressed the difficulties involved for students who will have to change their current House affiliation. At present, an off-campus student retains an affiliation with the brick dormitory from which she moved. Miss Jones said that the plan will handicap a girl who has friends in a dormitory that is not part of the House in which she must eat. She pointed out, however, that the change in policy will become a dead issue within a few years, when the living facilities of the off-campus houses are replaced by those...
Holly trees arch gracefully over the neat white fences that line the dirt road leading to the brick mansion at West Hatton, the 630-acre Zantzinger farm-estate in southern Maryland.

But in the House of Com mons, the reaction to Wilson is generally one of uneasy suspicion, and he is frequently accused of being "slippery." As the Economist put it last week, "On the big things-defense, the American alliance, East-West, the need...
Ancient Surfaces. A great borrower and transplanter, he confesses that he often takes a detail of a building here and adds it to another there. In all his paintings there is a loving treatment of ancient surfaces: tattered plaster, ravaged brick, gnarled woodwork, scabrous paint bespeak his affection for old, well-used places and things. But sometimes Sivard gets so carried away in his kindly lampoons that there is a detail too many, and the end result is no better than a merely slick magazine cover. His most impressive paintings are from that unpainted and usually humorless terrain, Russia, which...
