The MIT Chapel is a non-denominational chapel designed by noted architect Eero Saarinen. It is located on the campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, next to Kresge Auditorium and Kresge Oval, which Saarinen also designed. Though a small building, the Chapel is often noted as a successful example of mid-Century modern architecture in the US. Saarinen also designed the landscaping surrounding all three.Leland M. Roth included the building in his History of American Architecture, using it to illustrate the contrast between Saarinen's approach and that of Mies van der Rohe . Roth said that "through the sheer manipulation of light and the its focus on a blazingly white marble altar block, Saarinen created a place of mystic quiet."From the outside, the chapel is a simple, windowless brick cylinder set inside a very shallow concrete moat. It is 50ft in diameter and 30ft high, and topped by an aluminum spire. The brick is supported by a series of low arches. Saarinen chose bricks that were rough and imperfect to create a textured effect. The whole is set in two groves of London Planetrees, with a long wall to the east, all designed by Saarinen. The wall and trees provide a uniform background for the chapel, and isolate the site from the noise and bustle of adjacent buildings.Within is an intimate space, stunning in its immediate visual impact. Windowless interior walls are undulating brick. Like a cascade of light, a full-height metal sculpture by Harry Bertoia glitters from the circular skylight down to a small, unadorned marble altar. Natural light filters upward from shallow slits in the walls catching rippling reflected light from the moat; this dim ambient light is complemented by artificial lighting. The chapel's curving spire and bell tower was designed by the sculptor Theodore Roszak and was added in 1956.
The Basilica and Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a Roman Catholic Basilica in Boston, Massachusetts, sometimes known as "The Mission Church".HistoryIn May 1869, Rev. James A. Healy, pastor of St. James’s Church in Boston, invited the Redemptorists to give a parish mission. Pleased with the success of the mission, Father Healy recommended to the Bishop that the religious order should establish a mission-house in Boston. That year Archbishop John J. Williams invited the Redemptorists to Boston. In September 1869 the Redemptorists acquired a site in Roxbury, then known as the Boston Highlands, on Parker Hill. Parker Hill was named for wealthy Boston merchant, John Parker, who occupied the summit of the hill during the eighteenth century. The five acre estate was known as Brinley Place, and included a grand house, Datchet House built in 1723 by prominent English officer Colonel Francis Brinley in memory of his ancestral home. Colonel Brinley died in 1765. Wealthy merchant Robert Pierpont purchased the house in 1773. Pierpont enlarged and enriched the house to such a degree that it became known as "Pierpont’s Castle".The Redemptorists built a modest wooden church on the location in 1870. This was to serve as a "mission house", a home base for priests traveling to distant parts of Massachusetts, Canada, and elsewhere. The church was dedicated to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The first mass was said on January 29, 1871. The original structure was located on the site where the rectory now stands.BuildingThe current church was designed by William Schickel and Isaac Ditmars of New York. The then German congregation broke ground in 1874. The Mission Church was constructed in Romanesque style, of Roxbury puddingstone, quarried from what is now Puddingstone Park, just down the block. An octagonal, cupola-topped lantern rises over a hundred feet above the crossing. The stained glass windows were made by Franz Mayer and Co. from Munich, Germany. Side altars were dedicated to the Holy Family and St. Patrick, respectively. The church was dedicated in 1878. At this time the church was not an ordinary parish in which all sacraments were administered, but was instead limited to penance and Holy Communion. Our Lady of Perpetual Help became a parish of the Archdiocese of Boston in 1883.

Preaching the supremacy of Christ that transforms lives and communities. PRAYER Hilltop Church was born out of a prayer meeting that began in 2006. For the past seven years we have been praying for another Great Awakening to sweep Boston, New England, and the college campuses of the North East. We continue to pray until… DISCIPLESHIP God will not do what He has entrusted to man to do. While we pray for historical revival that only the Spirit of God can bring He has entrusted to us the responsibility and privilege of discipleship. EVANGELISM / COMPASSION The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. God is passionate about people and He is passionate about redemption. Evangelism and compassion is one of the simplest ways that we can convey and reveal the heart of God. ACTIVISM All throughout scripture the church is likened to salt, light and even leaven. We are called to be an influencing, pervasive and prevailing agent in society. To that end, we desire to be a voice in culture and we see activism in issues of injustice as a mandate from God.

St. Luke's and St. Margaret's Church is a former parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts in the Allston neighborhood of Boston. It was closed in 2010.HistoryThe parish was the merger of two separate churches. St. Margaret's (dedicated to Margaret of Antioch) was founded in 1862 in the nearby neighborhood of Brighton Center, which was then an independent town. The founders were associated with Church of the Advent in Boston, and St Margaret's was similarly Anglo-catholic in practice and worship.St. Luke's was founded in 1892, in Allston, which was then a rapidly growing white-collar neighborhood. It was the only parish in the diocese founded under Bishop Phillips Brooks, the famous preacher and author of O Little Town of Bethlehem. An initial church building was built in 1895, at the corner or Brighton Avenue and St. Luke's Road. A rectory next door was later added. A larger church building was built adjacent in 1915, and the old sanctuary was converted to a parish hall. St. Luke's was broadly low church in worship.In the 1950s and 60s, as former members moved further out of Boston, attendance at both churches declined, and in 1967 the two parishes merged. They consolidated at the St. Luke's location, and the St. Margaret's buildings were sold. The combined parish continued to struggle, but it enjoyed a resurgence of attendance and activity in the 1980s and 1990s, beginning under the rectorship of Mary Glasspool (who would later become the first open lesbian bishop in the Anglican Communion).
The Division of Systems Engineering (SE) is based on a rather unique interdisciplinary graduate program with select faculty from different engineering departments. The creation of the Center for Information and Systems Engineering (CISE) in 2003 brought together these faculty, all committed to cutting-edge research on analytical and computational methods aiming to design and manage human-made and physical systems spanning a broad range of applications. The growing activities of the CISE have naturally led to the establishment of a graduate program that emphasizes the common themes of Systems Engineering across departments and application areas. The Division includes affiliated faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Management.

Students and faculty in Boston University’s Department of Modern Languages and Comparative Literature pursue the study of ten world languages, literatures and cultures and of Comparative Literature, which is the study of literature across linguistic boundaries. (More than a dozen additional languages are taught elsewhere on campus: see “Other Languages” link, below right.) MLCL boasts an internationally distinguished faculty who publish scholarly research on a wide array of topics ranging from female impersonators in China, to German translations of the Hebrew Bible, to Arabic rewritings of Shakespeare, to sexuality and gender in recent Japanese fiction, to comparisons of how ancient Rome and early Japan each worked to found a literary tradition in the footprints of a neighboring culture, and a great many other topics. Our faculty have won many distinctions for scholarship and teaching, including the Metcalf Award for Excellence in Teaching, the Peter Paul professorship for the “very best young faculty” university-wide, the US-Japan Friendship Commission Prize for the Translation of Japanese Literature (known as the Donald Keene Prize), and grants and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, the German National Research Society, the Fulbright Commission, the National Security Education Program for critical-language instruction, and dozens more.
