...nothing but detrimental to the academic atmosphere. During the Program for Harvard College, Pusey said one goal of the fund-raising was "to attract to Cambridge a constellation of the world's great minds, making the banks of the Charles--from the research centers beyond M.I.T. at the southern extremity as far as Eliot House on the north--a world capital of knowledge and research."
