...civic address last spring, President Pusey emphasized the complementary features of the University and the city. Harvard obviously has a deep interest in a healthy Cambridge, for any other climate could eventually be nothing but detrimental to the academic atmosphere. During the Program for Harvard College, Pusey said one goal of the fund-raising was "to attract to Cambridge a constellation of the world's great minds, making the banks of the Charles--from the research centers beyond M.I.T. at the southern extremity as far as Eliot House on the north--a world capital of knowledge and research." Without...
Thus during an "up" period in Harvard-Cambridge relations, a city administration sympathetic to the University ideal prevails. This is the general outlook Harvard tries, however subtly, to foster in Cambridge city government...
This possibility exists since one Council incumbent, former Mayor Edward J. Sullivan, is vacating his seat. It is conceded, however, that his brother, amiable former Rep. Walter J. Sullivan, will take the seat, and perhaps even top the ticket. This group of Sullivanites have consistently led the anti-Harvard, anti-CCA factions of the city...

Another new CCA candidate, Richard E. McLaughlin, has, in his advertisements, tried to create an issue on the loss of industries from Cambridge. Harvard has a particular interest in this issue, since a continued decline in the number of industries would leave the city government with very little valuable property on which to collect taxes. According to a recent study, 15 firms have left Cambridge in the past two years, nine of them going to Route 128. This meant a loss of some 1,750 to 3,800 employees now working in outlying districts. At this late date, though...
