During its relatively brief stay at the corner of Boylston St. and Memorial Drive, the Kennedy School of Government has become famous for wide-eyed enthusiasm and galloping growth. The arrival of an additional 240 students and 17 professors, giftwrapped as the City and Regional Planning (CRP) program and jettisoned by the overpopulated Graduate School of Design (GSD), will certainly uphold this tradition of expansion. In fact, the move may necessitate readjustments on such a grand scale that even the K-School's wizards of bureaucracy will have to scramble to keep...
...emphasized the physical aspects of city planning through most of the 1960s. When broader social and economic problems began to limit architectural options at the turn of the decade, its focus shifted to training and research in public policy.

By the mid '70s bureaucratic theory had eclipsed architecture within CRP. Gerald M. McCue, dean-designate of the GSD, remembers that "our CRP program had become 80 per cent public policy analysis...
...students troop across campus. Allison, on the other hand, has so many administrative knots to untangle that he sees the millions needed for expansion as only one element of "a classic list of problems."

It's unnecessarily demeaning to their program to imply that there is a caliber problem with their students...
