Memorial Drive

This drive runs along the beautiful Charles River on which the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University boat crews train. As we roll along the drive, we come to the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology on our right. From this school have graduated many of our best technical men. On our left as we drive along, we see Harvard Bridge, the Tech Boat House and the Weld Boat House. Across the Charles, we see the Harvard Business School, while on our right we begin to pass the “houses” of Harvard College. Continuing along the drive to Mt. Auburn Street, we turn left. A short way down Mt. Auburn Street on our left we pass the Stillman Infirmary, maintained as a hospital for Harvard students, and the Cambridge Hospital. On the river bank directly in the rear of this group of buildings is the supposed site of Leif Erickson’s old house built in the year 1001. Continue on Mt. Auburn Street two blocks to Coolidge Avenue and turn left. On our right is
