...that Harvard was asking court permission to change the name of the Graduate School of Public Administration to the John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government and mentioning (just incidentally, more than half way through the release) that it had also asked permission to move the "headquarters for the School" (Littauer) down to the Library site...
...clear that the University's contribution to the Memorial will be great, both physically and financially. The new building, bringing under its roof all the facilities in Littauer plus the activities projected for the International Studies Center (it was scheduled to be about the size of William James), with room for an expansion of about one third, will cost something more than $12 million. In contrast, the three original segments of the Memorial momplex -- the Archive, the Museum, and the Institute of Politics -- will only cost between $10 and $13 million...
Although it would have been run by Harvard, an Institute separated from Littauer might merely have been a center of periodic, if fascinating, activity. And even as a center in its own right, it would have suffered. When the senior associates came to Cambridge, would they have had where they would be speaking and holding seminars, to Littauer, where the Harvard faculty would be? Or would the professors have done the shuffling? Perhaps neither? How would the Institute's junior fellows -- men in their late twenties and early thirties staying at the Institute for an entire year -- have lived...
Last week's announcement brought advantages not only for the Library complex, but also for Harvard. They are all nicely summed up in one word: space. Specifically, the Littauer building will become available for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences -- possibly for the Charles Warren Center of American History. With a large lecture hall, library and lots of office space and seminar rooms, Littauer would be amply suited for the Warren Center. The prime building spot next to Littauer, originally planned for the International Studies Building, can either be used for an expanded Undergraduate Science Center or for another...
Pusey characteristially proceeds in this careful way, and the proposal for the Littauer shift to the Library site was a major and unexpected disruption. It demanded scrutiny in light of the University's other priorities, and from Pusey's perspective, the existing commitments did not make the decision any easier. About to embark on the Science Drive, Harvard was already looking for about $100 million in other areas. Fund-raising had become increasingly difficult, and moving Littauer to the Library site would add $12 to $18 million to the total Harvard needed...
