City Manager James L. Sullivan replied that landlords should be given "a reasonable length of time to comply with the law" before being brought into court. Sullivan said that he had sent a letter to all apartment house owners in the City, informing them of the law on locks passed last spring to "reinforce the fact that this applies to Harvard and all other landlords in the City of Cambridge...
...never have seemed a plausible threat here, the committee members must have been aware of the subtler pressure they faced in determining Harvard's position. It is easy to forget Harvard's proverbial position as leader of the nation's educational circles.
