The Rediscovery and Renewal of FDR's Harvard Past

Welcome to Boston!

« Attendance By Proxy – In the Spirit of FDR

As part of our opening festivities yesterday, members of the Adams Senior Common Room joined us for a bit of good cheer as we christened our newly restored (and just arrived one hour before) piano. Here are Adams House tutor Matt Corriel and I signing “The Bird in the Gilded Cage,” the smash hit of 1900. Change the clothes a bit, and it could be Franklin and Lathrop as the piano now sits precisely where it did 110 years ago.

Let the festivities begin!

    “it could be Franklin and Lathrop” – Yeah, but they probaly didn’t have to read the lyrics!

    Oh, I bet they did. They were both member of the Freshman Glee Club, without much musical experience… Besides, we’re both reading the music, not the words, trying to figure out a very warbling harmony! lol
