...saga of 7 Summer Rd. began 30 months ago, when the Graduate School of Design decided it wanted to use the four-story brick apartment building for office space. Offices were incompatible with bedrooms and kitchens, and so eviction proceedings began. The first few rulings on the hotly contested case went against the University, which had tried to remove some tenants with valid leases. But Harvard kept up the fight, despite the protests of local leaders that the building represented 16 moderately priced units of increasingly scarce rental housing.

Harvard regards such criticisms as testimony to its eminence. Across the Charles River, the business school's handsome Georgian brick buildings stand in splendid isolation from the rest of the university. The B school even has its own barbershop. Founded in 1908, the school prides itself on being the oldest such institution in the nation* as well as probably the richest (its endowment: about $100 million), the best equipped (its 500,000 volumes form the world's largest business library) and the most prestigious. Dean W. Currie, the associate dean for administration and policy planning, scorns false modesty...
