Harvard Lampoon to Get Its Own College Building in Cambridge
The Harvard Lampoon, the United States’ oldest college comic paper, will move into a dedicated clubhouse in Cambridge bounded by Mount Auburn and Plympton streets. Architect Edmund March Wheelwright designed a Dutch Renaissance style structure with two towers and a central nest for the ibis in the western tower. The building will include kitchens and halls for Lampoon events and a large hall for celebrations, with Lombardy poplars to frame the new home. The lampoon’s famed ibis and “By the Way” column will be featured, continuing a tradition started by early editors and designer Ralph Wormeley Curtis and John T. Wheelwright. the first issue appeared February 10, 1876.
