Frankly, this editorial would be devoted to a discussion of such possibilities were it not for one all-important fact--namely, that the whole affairs is so obviously a smoke-screen conjured up to obliterate the growing sentiment for Plan E government in Cambridge. With this desperate red herring, the Council seeks to delude voters into believing that Harvard is using its vast scholastic tools only as instruments to shield a predatory political influence...
