...public health sense, a university is an epidemic waiting to happen. Harvard has a responsibility for the lives of its 18,000 students who live and work in close quarters, and a need to exercise prudence even when the information available is less than ideal. When it became clear that SARS was spreading from China to Hong Kong, Vietnam and Toronto, the administration issued a travel advisory urging faculty and students not to travel to those countries in which transmission of SARS was continuing. Within a few days of that alert, several of us were besieged by journalists from Toronto...
...full-time undergraduate theater and staffed by six, former President Bok decided undergraduates would benefit from mentorship opportunities if they shared the building with the American Repertory Theater in 1980. However, Gross, Lewis and Bok all say the relationship between undergraduates and the professional acting troupe is less than ideal, and the two compete for limited space. Lewis estimates in a letter to Allston planner Kathy Spiegleman that 80 to 90 percent of the building’s square footage is not available for undergraduate use. And the decrepit Hasty Pudding Theater building, purchased by the College...
Last Friday, The Harvard Crimson convened six panelists to discuss the space crunch affecting the arts community at Harvard, and to discuss their long-term visions of an ideal artistic space for Harvard’s actors, dancers, musicians and visual artists. Present were David P.

Reff ’04 and Adrienne M. Minster ’04. The panel...
...actually an exciting mix, notwithstanding the space problems, having a building in which undergraduates are coursing their way through at various times of the day, and there’s a graduate program called the Institute for Advanced Theatre Training, and then professionals as well. As an ideal environment for different groups, different people, different ages, different interests, I think it’s an appropriate mix; as a space that accommodates that, it’s certainly compromised by lack of space. We’ve actually looked at adding a third level to the Loeb Drama Center...
...really less interested in traditional forms and more interested in hybrid forms, where music and dance and theater and visual arts collide in interesting ways. To have an environment in which all of these groups are isolated from one another would be unfortunate. I often talk about an ideal space that could function as a dance space, as a theater space, as a space for installations, as a soundstage. I once saw a production in Budapest a few years ago of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in which the audience was seated on 500 individually hung swings...
