...Loker Commons, that sulking sewer of broken dreams deep beneath Memorial Hall, is a living monument to Harvard’s inability to effectively accommodate the social lives of its students. It is a failed project in almost every respect, its original purpose obliterated by poor design and subsequent misuse.

The success of “Harvard Pub Nights,” which are held in Loker, should not indicate that the space should be transformed into a permanent pub.
