...well done. Since January of last year, well over three thousand assorted housing problems have been solved in one way or another; and the greatest crisis of all was successfully passed last September when a small army of veterans and their dependents moved en mass upon Cambridge. Moving with singular rapidity, the University promptly filled in the imminent breach by reconverting a deserted army camp and a hotel in downtown Boston, and adding them to its string of temporary projects on the old tennis courts and across the Charles...
