Built since this map was drawn is Houghton Library, home of the University's rare book collection. It is near Widener, connected to it by a second-story passageway.

In the last year, several new buildings have sprung up, among them temporary housing developments on the sites of Jarvis and Divinity Field Tennis Courts and in the bend of the Charles next to the Business School's McCulloch Hall.

Perhaps the most important building move, however, has been the erection of Vanserg Hall, just east of the Biological Laboratories, near Francis Street.

Another insignificant omission from the map pictured above is the new home of the Harvard CRIMSON, leading undergraduate daily. This building, built in the spring of 1915, stands just north of Adams House, near the corner of Plympton Street and Massachusetts Avenue.

For children, there is a new nursery, too. It stands in a hitherto vacant lot between Francis Street and Divinity Avenue, facing Kirkland Street. And to house the IBM calculator presented to the University there is a new but on Jarvis Street.
