A Home of Their Own
The Seneca, a female final club,
has acquired a house in Harvard Square, making it the second women's group to find a physical space in which to meet and throw parties. The house was bought for the group by an anonymous rich person, who is leasing it to the Seneca.
Given that Harvard social life is so dominated by the men's final clubs, with their expensive and exclusive spaces in the Square, I suppose this is a good thing...though all these clubs, male and female, creep me out a bit.
In any case, here's a journalism question: How come Crimson writer Alexandra Bell doesn't bother to tell readers where the house is? After all, real estate in Harvard Square isn't easy to come by.... Did the Seneca not say? (Though surely a couple calls to local real estate agents could have provided an answer.) Or did it not want the address known? In either case, Bell should clue her readers in....
A quick look at the Seneca website informs one that
the house is at 15 Mount Auburn Street, which makes it all the odder that Bell doesn't mention the address.

Whoops—because of the way I read the Crimson online, I didn't see that the paper has indeed run a graphic with
a photo of the house and a map of its location. Mea culpa, and thanks to the poster who pointed this out.
