...recent gathering of the NIH advisory committee, Donald Fredrickson, director of that agency, questioned an official from Massachusetts General about whether the quality and independence of the hospital's research would be compromised by industrial support. Ronald Lamont-Havers, director of research at the facility, defended the Hoechst agreement as specifically designed to preserve academic integrity, adding that similar fears were raised 30 years ago about increasing federal funding for campus research. He noted in a recent interview that without the government, which today supports 75 per cent of the nation's biomedical research universities would "never have achieved anything...
...complex nature of Harvard's collections also makes them precious--and susceptible to ruin due to age and deterioration. Heather E. Cole, librarian of Hilles and Lamont libraries, says "it's remarkable the way Hilles and Lamont have been built to last." While the undergraduate libraries and Widener do not face the same immediate dangers to their structures as in some decrepit Houses and buildings, the librarians say there are potential problems with the preservation of books...
Cole's agenda for book preservation in Lamont and Hilles includes possible installation of specially reflective windows which will provide "a protective shielding" for books currently exposed to destructive sun rays. Cole adds, however, that such renovations are at present controversial and costly. Beyond those scientific changes, Cole sees "potential conflict" between efforts to save books and save energy. Less heating and cooling of buildings during hours and days when they are not in use means "enormous savings," Cole says, but she adds that wide temperature changes are "death to books...
GUERILLA made headlines again in January, when it organized a "study-in" at Lamont Library to protest the lack of a 24-hour study area in the Yard. About 70 students joined in the quiet sit-in-on Lamont's ground floor after the 1 a.m. closing time. Heather C. Cole, librarian of Hilles and Lamont Libraries, asked the protesters to leave. When they refused, she called Epps, who arrived to say that he would meet with a small group of them the next day. The demonstration ended at 2 a.m. A few days later, the administration agreed to keep...
...completed or drafted plans for all the required renovations of buildings and facilities, which have included the installation of ramps, elevators and wider doors. Dorothy Moser, consultant to Harvard's Program for the Handicapped, says. The establishment of the disabled student shuttle service and the soon-to-be-completed Lamont Library handicapped resource room represent Harvard's efforts to go beyond federal standards to accomodate the 43 self-identified disabled students here and to help many others, Moser adds. The required renovations--all part of an approximately $1-million project dubbed "the transition plan"--will be finished within...
