Thomas Schelling, Littauer Professor of Political Economy and a colleague of Kissinger's, phrased it more succinctly in a 1974 interview with the New York Post: "Henry collected a repertory of people. I don't think it was altruism...
Take, for example, one unusual item on the expense side of this year's budget. The Faculty is paying the Kennedy School of Government $250,000 over three years to buy out the K-School's half of the library in Littauer. The K-School shared the library with the Economics and Government Departments until it moved to its new building last year...

The committee was plagued by internal rifts, with two of its members dropping out, but it did release tentative guidelines on April 11--the same day 300 demonstrators called for the library to be named after Steven Biko, the slain leader of the South African Black Consciousness Movement...
