...member of the Radcliffe faculty for Music Composition and Theory in 1938, Boulanger was the first professor to instruct both Harvard and Radcliffe students together, and as a composition teacher, she instructed hundreds of American and European students. The exhibit devoted to her was coordinated by research assistant Elizabeth Craft and Loeb staff members Virginia Danielson and Sarah Adams. It shows scores left to Harvard by the Boulanger estate and includes a composition by Harvard’s own Robert Levin that he completed at age 12. The exhibit concentrates on Boulanger’s effect on America and especially...
...Margaret M. Wang ’09, President of The Harvard Vestis Council, settles cross-legged into her chair. Opposite her is Harvard Business School student Elizabeth R.

...Elizabeth Martinez, a hotel worker from California, shared her experiences as an employee and a labor organizer with Harvard students in a discussion yesterday organized by the Harvard Student Labor Action Movement. Martinez has been working as a waitress at the Hilton Hotel in Long Beach, Calif. for 11 years. She said that working conditions have degenerated since the management of the hotel was turned over four years ago to HEI Hotels and Resorts, a company supported by funds from various university endowments. “The way they manage those hotels is just horrible,” Martinez said...
