CAMBRIDGE, MA :: We crossed the Charles River and walked around Harvard Square and Harvard Yard, which was kind of neat. I think I was most excited to see the offices of Dewey Cheetham & Howe and Kristie was thrilled to find a new book, “Frames of Reference for the Assessment of Learning Disabilities,” at Harvard’s student bookstore, The Coop.
There are many shops and cafes throughout Harvard Square, but it’s nothing special when compared to the retail districts of other major universities. Likewise, Harvard Yard doesn’t inspire much emotion. It’s the nation’s oldest university, and I’m sure the bright students are far too focused on studying to care about their relatively simple surroundings, but I’ve been much more impressed by other campuses. Perhaps Harvard’s main campus has more going for it, but we didn’t have time to wander through it.
