    One possible topic for my final paper will be the layout of the Harvard Quadrangle dorm rooms.  The Harvard "quad" is the house on campus that every freshman frowns upon getting due to it's distance from classes and the rest of the houses on campus. The quad consists of three houses: Pforzheimer, Cabot, and Currier. I am interested in the layout of these houses since it used to be the Harvard Radcliffe college (only women lived there). I am curious if the layout is different that the other houses since only females used to be housed there. Are the bathrooms designed differently? Are there more singles? Is is more modern that the other houses? These are all questions that I would be thinking about while writing my final paper. https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/1st-circuit-upholds-harvards-use-of-race-in-admissionshttps://www.abajournal.com/news/article/1st-circuit-upholds-harvards-use-of-race-in-admissions

       Another possible topic for my final paper would be to talk about the famous Widener Memorial Library and how they have maintained it over the years without ruining its historical value. The Widener Memorial Library is home to a major 3.5 million books and is one of the main attractions for tourists due to it's large white columns and historical significance. How does the library update their books without losing their old ones with significant historical value? How does Harvard renovate the steps or outside without ruining its history?
