The University is not considering renting Harvard Stadium to Boston's recently organized professional football team, a high Administration official said yesterday. The Corporation is expected to make an official decision at its Monday meeting.
Despite this unprecedented increase in funds, University scientists emphasize they have not lost any "large measure of authority." Harvard does not permit government secrecy to circumscribe any research, and generally does not accept projects initiated by the government, according to Jabez C. Street, chairman of the Department of Physics.
The head of the ten-man group added, "I have the impression the door is not yet closed." Sullivan will wait until the Corporation's decision next week, but he admitted that he is now looking to his second choice, Fenway Park, for a playing field.
The University has not yet received any formal offer; all proposals to use the Stadium have come only indirectly through influential alumni and politicians, the University official said.
Sullivan stated that he discussed the issue last week with Thomas D. Bolles, director of Athletics, but admitted that several alumni not in the syndicate had approached the University informally.
