...groups themselves persist, the turnover of undergrads combines with the emphasis on performance to create an environment where the music made more than a scant few years ago is mostly forgotten. There is, however, one group devoted to the purpose of preserving music. Deep in the Pforzheimer House basement, tucked between practice rooms and HRTV studios, is one of the Harvard music scene's least known entities: Quad Sound Studios. QSS, or simply "the studio," as members refer to it, is ironically one of the youngest musical institutions on campus. It was founded about ten years ago by a group...
...North House was born when Bennett began working in the Quad Sound Studios, in the basement of Pforzheimer House (the former North House), a year and a half ago. "[Becky Warren] was a guitar player and songwriter, and she'd come down to the studio; I was just starting to work there. Basically, I just needed someone to play while I practiced recording.

...first football game between Harvard and Yale took place when Ulysses S. Grant was president of the United States, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin was a five-year old pre-schooler and the Science Center probably referred to a collection of Bunsen burners somewhere in the basement of Sever Hall. The 1875 competition--which was in reality more a rugby match than anything else--was actually not the beginning of the Harvard-Yale rivalry. That had begun more than two decades earlier with crew. No helmets or equipment were worn--the teams wore hats, knickers and britches for uniforms. The game...
