Daniel Steiner '54, general counsel to the University, sent a memo this week to all Medical Area personnel reaffirming Harvard's adamant stand against a clerical and technical workers' union that is not University wide...
...concentrated on Harvard administration memos, you might not even be aware that Harvard provided many of these important people--although you would know that even without exams, the administrators are learning, too. The improvement in administration memos over the last three years is absolutely astonishing. It's hard to believe the memos published by The Crimson this month in which Robin Schmidt and Charles U.
