...Look closer, and one finds the curtain to be practically an airplane map of Cambridge. There is Massachusetts Hall, there a quadrangle in the Georgian style. The campus of Tait is cloistered. There are ivy-covered towers, containing, by the way, college bells of familiar penetration.

Last week pupil Elizabeth Walker scampered up to Principal Tate saying, "What is the difference between evolution and revolution?"
