...inhabitants in the general region of the Charles are well aware, construction is busily proceeding on at least one unit of the new House. Plan. Just across the way, legal considerations have prevented progress beyond a some-what insubstantial looking little brick wall. Of the ultimate appearance of either building the great mass of Harvard men know nothing. The difficulties confronting the completion of the one unit have served to prevent the release of information regarding the other. This situation is somewhat hard to explain on any grounds other than the usual promptness of the University authorities to snatch...

Somehow the "quality group" rather than the "quantity group" of magazines--but Mr. Coolidge may always choose for himself.
