...book, Morison finds the major value of Harvard in the heterogeneity of the individuals who make up this "microcosm of the world in which we live...
Economics A is the whole field of Economics in microcosm; it is a study of the economic problem. So much land, labor, and instruments are available. Men must eat. But they want to do more than that. How can they use the available tools to produce the largest amount of what they most want? The problem requires much thought and discussion, and there are many different solutions.

There is a great deal of empty space behind the Business School rather forlornly awaiting another period of prosperity, some already employed as a parking space, and the rest just begging for the expenditure of a few dollars...
