Brattle Street Elegy: Tribute to a Building
I attended the University Ward from 1995 to 1999 as one of the MIT strong. Thanks to Sam for putting up this page. It really hits home.
I, too, pay tribute to the building where I was baptized, amazed at the huge turnout of university students I had never met, where I spent many a spring day bonding with fellow students on the long walk to and from MIT along the river, the long-suffering winter walk from the T stop down snow-embattled Brattle Street, the mediocre post-church dinners among students destined for greatness, and where I met my wonderful wife.
I am glad to have walked through its empty halls and chapel one last time in 2006 when I attended Siggraph in Boston and left my fellow Disney employees for one night of nostalgia.
