While the facility was originally intended to store Harvard’s least-used volumes, it is now home to 45 percent of Harvard’s collections.

Tempering the loss of these six Masters—hailing from Cabot, Eliot, and Mather Houses—is the shared knowledge retained by the remaining leaders, 10 of whom will have served for at least 10 years when the next academic year begins...
