...wife, two children, and I live in the Harvard housing development known as Shaler Lane. We have just received notice that rents are being raised to about $84.00 per month. Our heating bill averages $20.00 per month. Thus the cost of having a place to live is over $100.00 per month. I find it incredible that a university of the stature of Harvard should not only not subsidize housing for its students in general, and its married students in particular, but that it should charge rents beyond the capacity of many students.

...burden of providing adequate housing for the married students falls upon the Harvard Housing Trust, which has developments in Shaler Lane and Holden Green. These are attractive, low-rent apartments. A two-bedroom unit rents for $75 monthly; three bedrooms, $90; and a four-bedroom apartments...

A survey taken last year showed that at least 30 suites were occupied by people who once had been students here but were no longer tied to the University in any way. When rent controls...
