...York-based planning and design firm Cooper, Robertson & Partners, along with Gehry and landscape architect Laurie Olin—who designed Yale’s Science Hill—will flesh out the broad vision released two weeks ago in a series of task force reports on Allston, as the University enters the next phase of planning its future campus...
...fact, I didn't understand how truly monumental, and morally important, Reagan's anticommunist vision was until I visited the Soviet Union in 1987.

When all is said and done, taking the time and devoting the resources necessary to creating a truly splendid Allston campus will pay off. As long as the University continues to take student concerns into consideration and manages to put vision ahead of the bottom line, undergraduates might very well get a vibrant, happy, healthy center for student activity and student life across the river—and future first-years might not cringe at the thought of being exiled across the Charles. By deciding to build Houses in Allston, Harvard takes on the responsibility of making students want...
