According to Elliott Perkins, Master of Lowell House, the members of the Committee, which is comprised mostly of Masters, felt that the College should improve the service, rather than remove it. Students left to clean for themselves would hardly clean at all, said Perkins...
...would be ridiculous for the Corporation to assume that Harvard can keep its hands clean while administering any program which requires an affidavit. Even if the University does not have to supply matching funds, nor receive the affidavits directly, its involvement in the NSF program is unmistakable.

(But one leaned out of a dorm window and cried, "Hey, Charlie's going to be in the quad tomorrow to give out the answers to the Comparative Lit exam.") Officials of several colleges hinted that they would...
