Harvard beauties


Widener

The libraries, there are 99 of them. The grandiose are the Widener (a rich alumnus who went down with the Titanic) and the Law school library (nice furniture). The loveliest ones include the Natural History Museum, which looks taken out of Indiana Jones. Most of them are small, have few copies of each book, so one has to go there to read them... on the other hand many are open 24hrs a day, and never empty.

The Law school has a luxurious new common building, lounge/bar/restaurant with... a private ice skating rink. Where one can skate at ease (unlike the clockwise sloshing herds at the commons), alone till the cold wee hours.

Definitely, harvard's not bad. I hear the Business school is even better... they have a sushi chef!

Which other libraries are open 24 hours? I was told there's just the one, but perhaps I was told that in a HCL (vs. HUL) context...
