...brothers work at Great Atlantic Fish Co. and come to talk to him when he brings in the day's catch in the afternoon. Joe graduated from Harvard, class of '73, and started right on fishing with Louis, who used to take out sections of Nat. Sci. 27 and Bio. 122--Professor Fell's Marine Biology, courses--on field trips. Joe had planned to go to graduate school in Marine Biology, but by his Sophomore year realized that the academic life was not for him. At least not for now.

Gilbert said that the plan, which would expand the range of possible research at Harvard, would convert an area of approximately 1000 square feet in the bio labs into a restricted access area with a separate air supply for research involving potentially hazardous substances...

By immediately dropping all work on transfer factor, a controversial substance postulated in the 1950's for transfering immunity against foreign substances from one animal to another, Dressler...
...development in this country isn't exactly logical. Some Harvard administrators attributed his "ill logic" in the recommendations forgeries to the pressures of the pre-med syndrome; some of his friends chalked it up to a success-oriented family background; some of his teachers and fellow students in the Bio Labs, and even Rosenfeld himself, blamed the cumulative effect of spending endless hours in the laboratory and classroom...
