Harvard is tentatively committed to a center for non-residents. But if this "House" is built, there will be no further freedom for speculation or experiment. If the College does not wish to find itself frozen to a travesty of the House system, it should look carefully at the possibilities of bringing commuters into residential Houses. The opportunities opened by Quincy and Leverett Towers should be exploited, not lost by default; the obstacles must be overcome, not used as excuses for doing nothing...
...enthusiasts were appalled to find art works from such areas as Honduras and New Ireland placed in drab cases, along with crude axes and adzes, so that the sculptures, if distinguishable at all through the ethnological confusion, still could not be seen in the round, as they should be.
