Combine this with the fact that in the past, VES majors and other Harvard artists have enjoyed only very limited contact and interchange among themselves. Carpenter Center is the only building in the Western Hemisphere by famous architect Le Corbusier. Artistically it is an incomparable treasure, a feather in Harvard's cap; yet its imposing structure does not encourage aggregation or socializing. Film and photography students who work in the building's basement and studio artists from the upper floors rarely see each other. This isolation has been compounded by the lack of all-department events and activities...
Additional difficulties have stemmed from the fact that the Visual and Environmental Studies Department is among the newest at Harvard, fairly small, and struggling for more financial support from the University. Many studio courses depend on fees, an almost unheard of situation in the sciences.

Dean Allison, when pressed by the Kennedy School Black Students Caucus, admitted that there is in fact no contract requiring the naming of the library after Engelhard. If so, why not change the name? Is the Kennedy School frankly admitting that there should be no relationship between morality and public affairs? Must we seek funds from and honor every wealthy donor, no matter how immoral their source...
