'Living Quarters' for Ladies Won't Grace Harvard Club

Only Dining, Rest Rooms May Be Built In Boston Branch

Only Dining Room

Officials want it understood that any "living quarters" which may be provided for ladies at the Commonwealth and Massachusetts Avenue quarters will consist solely of a private downstairs dining room and several rest rooms for the wives of the Alumni.
