Conference Information
The conference and tutorial will be held on the campus of Harvard University
in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Cambridge is located in the metropolitan
Boston area and is easily accessible by subway from downtown Boston.
Cambridge tends to be rather warm and humid during late August with
average temperatures ranging from a high of 80f (27 c) to a low of 60f
(16 c).
Transportation
United Airlines has been designated the preferred carrier for FPCA '91,
offering special round-trip fares to North American conferees. United will
allow an additional 5% saving off any published round-trip fares within
the United States, or 40% off full coach fares from domestic cities or
comparable published Canadian Meeting fares from selected Canadian cities.
These fares are valid from August 23, 1991 through September 2, 1991.
To take advantage of these discounts call 800-521-4041 and refer to
Meeting ID No. 506EJ or give this information to your travel agent.
A taxi from Boston's Logan airport to Harvard Square is approximately $18.
To take MBTA rapid transit (known locally as the T) from Logan airport
to Harvard Square, take the airport shuttle bus to the Airport MBTA
station. Take the blue line train inbound to the Government Center
station. Transfer to the green line inbound one stop to the Park Street
station. Transfer to the red line outbound in the direction of Alewife
station. Disembark at the Harvard Square station.
To drive from Logan airport to Harvard Square, take the Summner Tunnel
to US 93 North. Then take Storrow Drive westbound to the Harvard Square
exit, turning right onto Kennedy Street toward Harvard Square. Turn left
on Eliot Street. The Charles hotel will be on your left. There is a
parking garage adjacent to the hotel.
Campus parking privileges can be obtained from the local arrangements
chair.
Social Events
Harvard's Museums of Natural History (26 Oxford Street) will be open to
conferees for a private tour at 5pm on Tuesday August 27th. The tour
will include an exhibition of a remarkable collection of glass flowers,
gems and minerals, and an entomological exhibition.
Immediately after the tour there will be a reception (7pm Tuesday August
27th) at the Cronkhite Graduate Center (6 Ash Street).
There will be a reception and banquet at 7:00pm on Thursday August 29th
in the courtyard of the Fogg Art Museum (32 Quincy Street). The museum
is internationally known for its outstanding collection and will be
available exclusively for those attending the banquet. Extra tickets
for the banquet may be obtained from the local arrangements chair.
