The errors of Matthews, Weld and Grays are not being repeated. And future generations will thank God that no neo-Gothic monstrosities have been introduced to mar the simple beauty of the colonial type. The expansion of Harvard's plant and equipment is rapidly becoming an accomplished fact, keeping pace with the need for enlarged facilities...
