There were dozens of other reminders this year of Harvard's continual physical expansion. Holyoke Center was officially completed, and, at Radcliffe, the new Hilles Library was finished along with the first section of Mabel Daniels Hall. For the future, Harvard began final design work on the 10th undergraduate House and started excavating an automobile underpass on Cambridge St. (This $3.4 million project will also allow the closing of part of Kirkland St. for use as a construction site...
...concrete terms, this has meant (and will mean) not only expansion but also consolidation: the School of Education consolidated its activities from scattered buildings when Larsen Hall was constructed; the School of Design will do the same when its current $11 million fund drive is completed. The Social Relations Department collected itself in William James Hall; the new building on the Kennedy Library site do the same for the Government and Economics Department. And when the $49 million Program for Harvard Science (just getting under way) is completed, there will be considerable consolidation in a new undergraduate Science Center...
...modest about his works, which look like nothing so much as giant piles of children's blocks jumbled together. With a Fenian twinkle in his eye, he says that he doesn't even think of his works as sculpture at all. They are merely exercises in basic design, similar to those that he requires from his students at Manhattan's Hunter College. He built each piece originally in tiny paper tetrahedrons, octahedrons or dodecahedrons. After that, friends constructed the full-scale mock-ups in plywood and painted them with automobile undercoating (only three have been cast...
...negotiations went along, the automakers saw welcome signs that the agency was in no mood to go all the way with the industry's most excessive critics, either. One of Haddon's top engineering consultants, William I. Stieglitz, formerly Republic Aviation's safety-design chief, had argued so bitterly against any compromise that he began to be excluded from the sessions. Stieglitz noisily resigned last week, declaring the standards "totally inadequate" and asserting-correctly-that "my opinion was not asked on any matters." In calm reply, Haddon said that if Stieglitz had had his way, "many...
...jeopardized if critics of the visitors were able to force some sort of open and acrimonious confrontation. But the concern and, in many cases, disgust with which a substantial portion of the University community viewed the war in Vietnam threw a monkey wrench into the Institute's delicately wrought design...
