Joseph '59, a House Committee member, said yesterday, since it is "pretty definite" that the offices in Lehman will shift to the 12-story "business block" to be built between Massachusetts Ave. and Mount Auburn St. When this construction takes place, Dudley House will be torn down, while Lehman Hall will become free for possible use by the Commuters...
