...Friends, an organization of about 1,200 members, have accused the University of exceeding its power as sole trustee of the Arboretum by moving in 1953 most of the institution's library, thousands of dried plant specimens valued at $5 million and several members of the staff from Jamaica Plain to the University Herbarium...
...found with this showing, one must regret that Pier Luigi Nervi, Italy's great engineer-architect, was not included in the show. His accomplishments are surely more significant than those of Wallace K. Harrison, who exhibits buildings for Alcoa that seem to have been designed for the sole purpose of discovering uglier and uglier ways of using aluminum.

It is achievements such as these which have given our century the most exciting buildings since the Renaissance...

The major remaining problem for the new Theatre is its acoustics. During the summer several amplification arrangements were tried; the one used for Much Ado, the sole proscenium production, turned out to be the best. But the acoustics are still not wholly satisfactory; perhaps the solution demands a concave roof and solid, airtight walls...
