...University’s Allston planners are expected to release a master plan for the new Allston campus. We hope that their report will address a looming issue: what, if anything, will be done with Soldiers Field Road, the four-lane, limited-access parkway that snakes between the Charles River and the Business School. If Allston is to become a central part of Harvard’s campus instead of a mere satellite locale, University planners should, with the support of city and Commonwealth officials, accelerate existing plans to place this massively obstructive presence underground.

...Last week, on a stinking hot morning, some 300 Year 7 students from the two schools were bused out to Tempe, close to Sydney's airport, for a clean-up of the Cooks River and some nearby parks; they listened to lectures about pollution, river quality and storm water, played games and painted a colorful canvas mural.

Four Holy Spirit boys sulked under a tree, offended that some Muslim girls had laughed at their Asian names. Some Malek Fahd girls were...
...rebuild the apartments on a plot of land it owns further west along Western Ave., at the current site of the Brighton Mills Shopping Center. While development could progress on Harvard’s existing Allston holdings without this land swap, we believe that any future campus across the river with a five-acre lacuna at its heart would ultimately be second-best.

But we are not without concern for the current residents of Charlesview, whose current living conditions are substandard and whose concerns must continue to be heard. We are confident, however, that a successful expansion into Allston will benefit not only Harvard, but also the Allston community, and, we hope, the current tenants of Charlesview...
This deal brings Harvard one step closer to a massive, and massively beneficial, expansion across the river. We are confident that, with the appropriate consultation, the Allston initiative can be good not only for Harvard but for all parties involved...
