...Harvard’s property, it paid $1.9 million in lieu of taxes to the City of Boston. Boston officials estimate these payments would be 10 times as large if Harvard paid real-estate taxes. Partly due to these reduced expenses, Harvard currently owns over 923,000 square feet of property in Allston that are neither developed for Harvard’s purposes nor leased to Allston businesses. Harvard would be less likely to hold these land lots for long-term construction projects if it had to pay real-estate taxes on them...
...building on Constitution Avenue, designed by John Russell Pope (who also created the Jefferson Memorial) was stuffed to the gills by the 1960s, forcing the archives to expand elsewhere. Most of the documents are now housed in College Park, MD, in a modern building of some 2 million cubic feet that can manage nearly 400 researchers at once. An electronic archive is in the works.

One student voices commands in a foreign tongue: encouraging words in varied tones and volumes. The group responds. Such performative exchanges—not to mention the boots—are a good indication of what makes the group distinctive. But the Harvard College Gumboots Dance Troupe is about more...
Nevertheless, the charges sting. The zoo says it is undertaking temporary measures to improve Susi's living conditions, nearly doubling the space dedicated to elephants and replacing the concrete floors with dirt, which is kinder to elephants' sensitive feet. It has also been actively searching for a new companion for Susi since Alicia died. "That's not a solution," replies Garcia about the improvement plans. "[The current condition of the elephant quarters] just makes things worse for another elephant...
