...many would dispute that frequent change on a number of levels is necessary-after all, if nothing ever changed, Harvard would still be lit by candles and attended only by young white men. But the question of changing our physical surroundings is more complex. Change for the sake of change, for the sake of making imagined progress is surely wrong.
