...delay, so often dependent on the convenience of the traditional University architects, Coolidge, Abbott, Shepley, and Bullfinch, the plans for the two new Houses will not be completed until summer. This extra time will undoubtedly make such an alteration in the plans for the Houses possible if it is found that the squash courts can not be kept in the new gymnasium. This change would even have many obvious advantages, which would be especially great if the courts were sufficiently numerous to accommodate a large percentage of the residents of these Houses...
...problem of seating the Harvard football crowds, which has been pressing since the condemnation of the old wooden structure used at Soldiers Field for a score of years, has reached a solution for the present at least. The approval of the Harvard Corporation has been secured, and Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott, architects, are now engaged on the plans...
Plans for the new structure are not yet far advanced as to details, except that there will be a tunnel through which the track straightaway will run. Coolidge, Shepley, Bulfinch and Abbott, the University architects, will draw the plans for the new stands which will accommodate about the same number as the old wooden structure. Though no exact figures are available as to the cost of this improvement on Soldiers Field, it is understood that the sum will be in the vicinity of $175,000. When completed, the stands will be left in position permanently, or until such a time...
...officer in charge detailed the case to Special Officer Robert Dwyer of the Milk Street Station, who now has the custody of the gymnasium building blue-prints, which he is examining for finger-prints. Officer Dwyer traced the blue prints from the office of Coolidge, Shepley, Abbott, and Bullfinch to a Wellesley contractor who was making estimates for the water-proofing of the proposed building. The contractor admitted losing the plans, which he believed to have mislaid on the train, as they had been rolled up on the seat beside him during the trip. A warrant has been sworn...
...like Harvard, have had to adjust themselves to existing structures, but have yet succeeded in presenting a symmetrical whole. It is, therefore, astonishing to realize that it has been left to a committee of the Student Council to suggest what should have been solved in the office of Coolidge, Shepley, Bullfinch, and Abbott. It is not my purpose to criticize the work of this capable firm (although they have designed a second story for the new gymnasium which seem like an afterthought instead of an integral part of the building), but I do believe that any firm with the prospect...
