...Harvard's record of architectural trusteeship is scandalous: the Carey Cage and the Old Fogg, to name the most distinguished examples, have been thoughtlessly destroyed in the wake of shortsighted optimism. Seize this opportunity to preserve a jewel of architecture and to close a sad chapter in Harvard's history...
