...Harvard has never been willing to admit that university athletics have become national in scope, or democratic in ideals and management. Harvard still holds itself aloof from any school that will not play when and where Harvard wants to play.

Far from limiting the possibilities of the work, this method adds immeasurably to the possibilities of design. A strict symmetry in space relations...
...confidential guide, and of a student report of the type which has been prepared at Dartmouth, Vassar, Harvard, and several other colleges and universities. Its only new industrial feature is the provision for student review of each department, in addition to courses.
