The Club holds monthly meetings in the Lecture Hall (Room 102) of the Fairchild
Biochemistry Building, 7 Divinity Ave. at Harvard University at 6:45 PM on the first
Friday of each month during the academic year. The Fairchild Biochemistry Building is
part of the main campus near Harvard Square and is between Busch Hall and the Peabody Museum.
It is close to the tallest building on campus, William James Hall, a white modern structure
at the beginning of the street. The entrance to the building is at the south end
next to Busch Hall (which is on the corner of Kirkland St. and Divinity Ave.)
There is a handicap ramp leading to the entrance.
For directions to the Harvard University campus go
here.
Our meetings are open to the public. For any questions concerning meetings
contact the Corresponding Secretary or our general
information contact.

are required in all parking lots on Harvard property at all hours. Members
