...convinced that walls that do not fully extend to the ceiling or floor will adequately protect sensitive conversations, then he should have no objection to moving his office to such a space in Hilles and granting the neighboring office to The Crimson. If anyone in University Hall can proclaim with a straight face that Allston is the future center of the College and that locating undergraduate Houses on both sides of the river will not divide the campus, then let them be the first to prove that it is so by moving their offices across the river...
