...that faculty or administration from other divisions of the University would not be subject to any restrictions. This line of attack will probably not be successful because most reference to Harvard by the state name "Harvard College."

...Nathan Pusey will leave his post in 1973, when he reaches the retirement age of 66 which Harvard imposes on administrative officers. Since the President and Fellow have "perpetual succession" under the University's 1650 charter, the Corporation will choose his replacement, subject only to consent of the Overseers.

But he is a thoroughly Eastern product--born in Newton, prepped at Exeter, degrees from the College and Law School--and he admits that he was groomed for service to Harvard by a friend on the Corporation and was the logical choice when a vacancy occurred because the friend died...
