Not the halls of Montezuma but the halls of Kirkland House proved the biggest problem to Hernando Cortes '43 in his invasion of Harvard University. Three rooms, all for one person, was too much for the South American. The inner room, if there were a bed in it, was probably for sleeping--an obvious necessity, as was the little room with the tile floor. But the large room with the fire-place, "like the North Station," was completely unexplainable, even by the sincere upperclassman who pointed out, "Why, this is the one you live in."
