...necessary legislation given serious thought. Members of the faculty felt the plan was an attempt to cover Plan E and divert public attention. If the Council is representative, Cambridge obviously objects to being dictated to by Harvard professors, and it was felt that the less the professors say, the more chance Plan E has of passage.
