...will encourage more Harvard affiliated personnel to live in Cambridge, which might improve faculty-student relations. "If everybody lives in Cambridge, then faculty can have students over to their houses, and we will be able to build a tighter community." Wyatt's words echo the thoughts of former president Nathan M. Pusey '28, who wrote in the late '50s, as Harvard was beginning its expansionist era and purchasing a great deal of property in Cambridge and Boston, that he believed that Harvard's future was closely tied to the concept of creating small communities within the larger community, ensuring Harvard...
...PRESIDENT OF Lawrence College from 1944 to 1953 and Harvard University from 1953 to 1970, Nathan M. Pusey '28's career as an academic administrator extended over some of the most dynamic and momentous years in the history of American education. The two-and-a-half decades following World War II proved a tremendous boom period for higher education; the number of colleges and universities rose sharply, as did the number of students attending those institutions. Academic curricula were revised and expanded in order to keep pace with the weight of new knowledge; graduate education came into its own; faculty...
Democrats on the board believe that the prime cause of inflation is the psychology that grips business and labor.

They all lived in a time called by the field's newshounds 'the new mood of the meadow.' After they lived at Vard for four years Derek the Duck branded a big V on their sheepskin...
...Hall over the DuBois Institute funding; the six-year lapse since Harvard students took over Mass Hall to demand that Harvard sell its shares in an oil company that supported Portugal's colonizing efforts in Angola; and, most importantly, the nine years that have passed since Bok's predecessor, Nathan M. Pusey '28, called the Cambridge police in to remove 150 demonstrators from University Hall. The swarms of police and the proliferation of locked doors that have appeared in the Yard all week bear witness to the administration's siege mentality. Bok seems to have forgotten, somehow, that the days...
