...March 1980, a a New York Times article said Harvard had begun to show a "growing aggressiveness" because of its decision to invest heavily in stocks. The article based a part of its argument on comparative statistics: Between mid-1974 and mid-1979, the endowment grew 10.5 per cent to 1.3 billion; while between mid-1979 and March 1980, it grew 21 per cent to 1.6 billion...
Created by the University in the mid-1970s to help patent and copyright their discoveries and inventions, the CPC has evolved into an organ that spends 90 per cent of its time on technology transfer, Atkinson says...
Initial results from work done at Leverett House and Thayer Hall make Leahy and Lichten hopeful of substantial savings across the University. In the Leverett Towers, where the target was a wasteful ventilation system, fuel consumption was cut 17 per cent for the year, Lichten says. Thayer, he adds, recorded a 24-per-cent reduction in fuel use after the installation of better insulation and adjustable valves with thermostats on all of the dorm's radiators. The valves have also all but ended the problem of erratic heating in rooms, Leahy adds, saying he's seen the proof from...
Leahy anticipates greater saving across campus next winter following the installation of 4000 more valves. In addition to continued work in residential buildings, the academic structures--particularly the Science Center, William James Hall, the new biochem labs, the biology labs and chemistry labs, which together consume 70 per cent of the energy used by the College--will also receive attention. In the Science Center and William James, efforts will include alterations in ventilation systems which circulate more air than necessary. In the labs, fume hoods--which are "intensely energy wasteful," according to Leahy--will be altered to become more economical...
...number of Christian leaders in Africa is small, Foster says--about 90 per cent of all trained ministers work in North America. "That kind of imbalance means there's big work to do at other places," he says. In Angola, for instance, "there is one pastor for ten churches." It is this need that Foster hopes to fill--after he graduates from the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in nearby South Hamilton, Mass., he will be ready to begin training church leaders...
