Dean Watson, Annex Group Confer on Activities Center

The yellow frame house in the corner of the Radcliffe quad at 67 Brattle St. is being considered as a possible location of the proposed Harvard-Radcliffe Student Activities Center, it was learned last night. Dean Watson met with Annex Trustees last week to discuss tentative plans for the center.

Although Watson believed it would be foolish to begin building an Activities Center at this time, he said that a large, frame house would be sufficient to serve as headquarters for merged Harvard-Radcliffe activities. Several small rooms for club offices and a large reception room for musical programs and social functions would be necessary, he said.

Mrs. Wilma A. Kerby Miller, Dean of Instruction, claimed that Harvard has probably felt the need of a center more than the Annex because the University has carried the burden of most activities since they were merged last January.

Agassiz Theatre has also been suggested as a site for the center, but the building is in great demand now, and will continue to be at least until the new theatre is built, according to Watson.

When the site is the finally decided upon, Watson pointed out, there will still be several problems involved. The most "difficult one" will be liquor, since Radcliffe does not allow liquor in the college. Hours and finances will have to be studied also, he said.
