...Wellesley architecture will sympathize with a Crimson editor who at a late hour last Saturday evening undertook the task of escorting a young lady home to Tower Court... Even without benefit of clergy Tower Court has a monastic eloquence powerful enough to cast a spell over the most sated denizen of Copley Square and the Mayfair. As if the leaded glass windows and pointed archways were not near enough the road to Rome, the architect of the citadel above Lake Waban placed in the driveway a statue in cold, gray stone, a statue of the Madonna. As he drove...

...Yard comes a new denizen of field and forest, a beast long since missing from urban confines. The how and wherefore of its appearance will always remain hidden in the shrouds of mystery, but as to its disappearance no stately veil shall long hang heavy there. Complacent bovines were once, and perhaps still may be allowed to roam gracefully through the greensward, and unmolested give their milk for Harvard, but birds and even beasts of other colors are ruthlessly driven from the protecting shelter, not, alas, out merely into the humdrum whirl of exhaust-filled urbanity, but straightway to meet...

There are closets with sliding glass doors for towels and clothes. There are shadowless mirrors. The bathroom denizen may stand on a given spot in the floor and see his weight indicated on the wall in front of him. The bathroom, not of porcelain which may crack or "craze," is of rough- surfaced iron, | in. thick, coated with enamel. A color may be baked...

...afternoons its value for the casual reader would be greatly increased. As its chief function is to make available a fine library of poetry to all who wish to come and browse, it should not deliberately close its doors at a time when it would be most used. The denizen of the house plan must traverse many dreary leagues before reaching the security of Widener's shadow. It is only during the morning, when he is of necessity drawn to the Yard because of classes, that he would avail himself of the opportunities offered by the Poetry Room...
