This danger is partially offset at the GSD through the collaborative projects undertaken by the advanced students of the three departments. Times Square, Park Square in Boston, and the portion of Cambridge between Harvard and MIT have been project subjects in the past. Besides leading to a mutual appreciation of each other's role these joint efforts provide the students an opportunity to encounter the complexity entailed in a plan complete with its economic, political, technological, social and aesthetic aspects...
Five other institutions besides Yale and Harvard had securities with marketing values totaling more than $100 million last June. The University of Chicago controlled $169,702,000 worth of stocks, bonds and mortgages, followed by MIT with $144,118,073, Northwestern with $143,545,000, Princeton with $134,571,708, the University of California with $111,154,000, and Cornell with...
While the program was getting underway at Harvard this fall, a similar group was being formed at MIT. The Tech group's schedule is less demanding, which means that the public school involved can take its choice between a lot or a little help. When a school needs an undergraduate for only a few hours a week, it negotiates with students in the MIT group. If an MIT student finds his schedule too time-consuming, he can switch with a Harvard student...
Although connected closely in this way with the Harvard members, MIT teachers are financially separate. They pay for their expenses themselves and have no support from any undergraduate organization. The HUT's, on the other hand, receive a certain amount of money from PBH and the Graduate School of Education. Because of the importance of publicity, the GSE paid for pamphlets. It can give no further aid however. PBH has allocated up to $350 for HUT transportation and food expenses, but even with this support the students must pay part of their expenses...
...members must make considerable financial sacrifice to teach under the present system, and MIT teachers even more. As it is, only relatively well-to-do "idealists" can afford to participate in the program. Scholarship students are effectively excluded as are many students with cars, Herzog reports. Most of the students could earn extra money tutoring if they were not in the HUT. Herzog is looking for an organization that will lend financial support so that the group can pay interested undergraduates a salary of $2.50 an hour plus transportation expenses...
