  4. Now the dominance of both the Great Dome and Green Building is fading behind the massive growth of the life sciences labs on the north side of campus. 4/43

  5. You may remember Building 20, the “temporary” barracks-like structure built during WW II to house what became the Research Lab for Electronics. Photographs courtesy of MIT Museum 5/43

  6. Building 20 was finally torn down after more than fifty years to make way for Frank Gehry’s Stata Center. 6/43

  7. MIT has undergone a massive change in the makeup of its student body. 7/43

  10. When we arrived on campus, the only public art was Dimitri Hadzi’s small sculpture , Elmo, near Haydn Library. Students, disapproving of modern art, would routinely disfigure this work with graffiti, of which traces are still visible on the pedestal.

  11. Now, the MIT campus abounds in public sculpture. 11/43

  12. Recalling the Sigma Alpha Pi hack 12/43

  13. A quadcopter-themed hack appeared around campus on March 14 in celebration of the release of Regular Action admission decisions. This drone carries one of MIT Admissions’ famous “tubes” during the early morning hours of Pi Day. What has changed is the technical sophistication of today’s hacks. 13/43
