...helps students with family incomes ranging from $15,000 to $50,000. The plan uses a variety of loans, grants and student work opportunities to allow parents to pay off their debts to Harvard in eight years of monthly installments. Administrators say the plan has increased the yield--the number of accepted students who actually attend--of middle-income students.

Assembly members retorted they were not responsible to the University. Out of this controversy grew the assembly resolution to seek provisional recognition from Harvard. Assembly members also plan to rent a train to take Harvard...
...swollen to monstrous proportions in college sports--even infecting much of the purportedly immune Ivy League--idealistic Harvard has fallen behind on the playing fields. Unwilling to match dollar for dollar or to turn the other cheek on academic qualifications, the University has been unable to attract a sufficient number of superstars to keep its teams in contention with the frontrunners...
