Harvard Looks Forward To Boston

"The lesson of Harvard's history is, one can transform apparentlyunpromising spaces into promising intellectual opportunities," says theuniversity's new president, Lawrence Summers. According to The Times,this spring, the university also paid $162 million for a 29-acre formerarsenal in Watertown, a nearby suburb, causing an uproar because ownership by anonprofit organization threatened up to a third of the tiny town's commercial tax base. And while the move into Boston continues, the faculty is not enamored of having to straddle the river. In a straw poll, The Times reported, all but one member of the law school faculty voted against a move.
