But the old-school Valentino declares that his gift is "to design and to create dresses. I always did this. I am not capable to do anything else. I am a disaster in everything else." In his climactic show, which everyone seems to know is his last, his admirers shed tears as they congratulate him.

This place was built to be gorgeous in green ivy and stunning in snow. If you want a stock Harvard story to tell, just give them the brief rundown of the famous Russian (now replica) bells. Lowell is built like a fortress, and on the inside it feels like a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of Harvard life...
