Back in the early '60s, when Robert MacNamara was trying to run the Defense Department the same way he had run the Ford Motor Company--at a profit--"computer simulations" of wartime situations were all the rage. The generals and admirals and Cabinet members would huddle together with groups of high-power academics--McGeorge Bundy, former dean of the Faculty here, always comes to mind as the prime example--and then they would all play high-voltage computer games to test out any theories they had managed to devise.

The companies provide crucial contacts with world markets, needed foreign exchange, tax revenue, and sophisticated technologies...

Besides record-keeping help, the computer will provide an easy way for parking officials to get information through the Department of Motor Vehicles in any state so the University can enforce fines for cars not registered at Harvard but parked illegally. Students who register their cars with Harvard are charged on their term bill if they fail to pay parking tickets; but prior to the computer installation, collecting from unregistered cars was more difficult...
