There are four plans™ “currently
under. consideration.

The second plan was proposed by
the architects, but does not seem to
have been received with favor by the
Administration. It involves filling

.up the Cloisters—which the archi-

tects insist on calling the “court”, to
avoid “sentimentality”—and- build-
ing two or three floors for stacks
above. ground in that space.

Most members of the Administra-
tion feel that the’space problem can
be adequately solved, without de-
~stroying the beauty of the Cloisters.

‘The third basic, proposal is to
raise another building, partly above
and partly below, ground, in the

The first plan; proposed—by. the— space bounded by Rock, the back_of

Administration, is to construct. one

or. tw@ floors under the Cloisters for .

additional stacks. This proposal,
however, presents " several difficul-
ties. One floor could be built at
comparatively littfe expense, using
the present Cloister walls as-a shell,
but it would’not provide egpugh ad-
ditional space to hous e antici-,

pinning the present masonry walls -

_at_ considerable expense.

‘Furthermore, because

tiori would be going on’on all four

sides of the library throughout the
time involved in building the addi-
tion, all normal.use of the library-
would be considerably st ines dur-

and ‘completely air-conditioned, sincé—

Although the stacks. would extend
as far as Taylor, the architect is not
in favor of\providing - an~ entrance

entail building and manning two cir-

that some access: from Taylor could

STREAM OF —-NOVELS- COMES:
How had he started in writing?

~He. said he had always written—at

Choate, at Harvard and then a ser-
ies of newspaper correspondent ar-
ticles and a stream of novels just
came. It had never been hard for him
to publish, He “just managed always
‘to get things accepted.” But, of
course, he quickly added, breaking
into the market in the 1920’s had
been much easier than it is. now.
When asked if young writers sent —
him work to read and how he ‘react-
ed to this, ‘he said that sometimes
he. read the stuff and sometimes he .
just sent it back. He did feel that -
the young writer should. be encour-
aged as much as possible: Novels,
he feels, are easier to publish at the
present time than short stories:
We asked him about creative
writing courses. and their advantage.
According to Mr. Dos Passos, crea-:

_ tive writing, courses were not part

of the Harvard scene in 1914, and
he did not see much value in them..
other than affording the: ‘busy’ stu-
dent an: opportunity ‘to ‘write. “You
can teach a person to make a sim-

‘ple sentence, but that’s about all.”

ENJOYED CHAUCER

He had definite opinions on col-
lege and curriculum. He took many
English courses, some against which
he, like all of us, rebelled against #t
the time. Chaucer, however,.was one
course (taught. by the man: whose
text-is-used~in- our Chaucer course)
which he felt that he had benefited
from while he was taking it. He
added that he wished he had also _
taken a course in Old English. “Much
of what you fight while you’re tak-
ing. it turns out to be what. helps
you most later,” he said about a
course involving intense study of
two Shakespeare plays. He felt
strongly that’ the emphasis in an _ ,
English major should be on the
classies ‘because “you can get the
mederns on your own.” But college
