Steel Replaces Wood For Claverly Repairs

Change, no stranger to Claverly Hall, is again present in the old Gold Coast dormitory, which has seen 54 years of Harvard evolution. Workmen are placing twentieth-century steel beams along-side the one-time glistening mahogany walls, as they work to bolster up the sagging walls.

Corridors on three floors will be 4 to 5 inches narrower, when the new steel beams, which will rest on concrete piers in the basement, are finally in place.
