Most of the visitors chose to tour the Loeb Drama Center, called the most modern theatre in America. At an earlier briefing session with Robb, the reporters and editors were curious about what Harvard thought about Harvard's great involvement in governing the country and what the University intended to do with its recently collected $82.5 million...
