Room With a View

THE PRESS

On the sixth floor of the Harvard Club, in Forty-fourth Street--upon whose sedate walls we look, with mixed-feelings, from - our offices--there are stalls for undressing members. Perhaps we should say stalls for members undressing. The stalls adjoin the showers. Hard by this room there used to be a barbershop. It was recently removed to the basement, and we have been diligent in trying to discover why. Inquiry among Harvard sons now reveals that the barbershop was moved because club members objected to being looked at, by barbers, while in the nude. Just something about it they couldn't stand. --The New Yorker.
