Moses said he does not know whether any site has been settled on--the last time he discussed specific sites with College officials was more than a month ago.

Fox said the College has been working on the Prince House plan for quite a while, because of its possible location between the Union dorms and across from the Union.

Goyette said the cost of moving the Prince House will be "in the $50,000 range."

Goyette noted that the move is not particularly unusual for a Harvard building.

"Harvard has been in the business of recycling and preserving old buildings long before the names 'retrofit' and 'recycling' became the vogue," Goyette said.

Goyette added that the preservation of an age and style mix in buildings "overtly symbolizes the stability of the University in society."

John H. Harvey, assistant to the director of General Education, said yesterday he has no inkling of where the Gen Ed Office will go if the Prince House should become the freshman dean's residence--"I don't think they've thought that far ahead yet," he said.

Harvey added, "We'll leave the labels on the packing boxes, I guess."
