With new construction work rising in the Square it is not too much to say that the lives of Harvard classes yet unborn are in the hands of the Elevated's engineers. In an age of more than one kind of acceleration the names of the quick of yesterday are often to be found in the columns of the dead of to-day. It is to be hoped that the rebuilt mausoleum rising from the paying will provide no excuse...
