Mather House (Harvard University)
Mather House is one of the undergraduate residential houses at Harvard University. Built in 1971, its house Co-Masters are Christie McDonald, former chair of Harvard's Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, and Michael Rosengarten, an adjunct professor of medicine at McGill University.〔http://mather.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k86555&pageid=icb.page508071〕 Mather is known for its large suites composed of single rooms and common rooms, as well as its nineteen-story concrete tower built in a Brutalist style. Its blocky concrete architecture reflects the anti-uprising style of the day of its construction and makes it the butt of jokes, such as being known as "the box that Dunster came in." However, Mather residents are guaranteed single bedrooms for all three years of their residency there, whereas it is not uncommon to find upperclassmen sharing rooms in many of Harvard's other Houses. The low-rise which surrounds the courtyard has large suites with common rooms, while the nineteen-story high-rise does not. However, the high-rise has larger bedrooms and views of Boston and Cambridge. Mather is the river house farthest from Harvard Yard, though the school provides shuttle service from its courtyard every ten minutes during weekdays. Mather House was a favorite choice for hard-partying varsity athletes before housing assignments were randomized by the school.
The house is known among students for its social life and a spacious, newly remodeled dining hall with a view of the Charles River.
Mather's sister College is Morse College at Yale University.
==History==
Opened in 1970, Mather House is the latest of Harvard's Houses to be built. It takes its name from Increase Mather, a Harvard alumnus and prominent Puritan minister in the Massachusetts Bay Colony who served as the University's acting president from 1685 to 1692.〔http://mather.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k86555&tabgroupid=icb.tabgroup145731〕 The architectural firm that designed Mather House, Shepley Bulfinch Richardson and Abbott (now Shepley Bulfinch), is also responsible for the Art Institute of Chicago, the original campus of Stanford University (along with Frederick Law Olmsted), the Ames Building, and the completion of Boston's Trinity Church.〔http://www.shepleybulfinch.com/history/#Shepley%20Bulfinch〕
