...facilities, thanks to the support of the Government and the ingenuity of our staff, are as up-to-date as those of any other comparable High-Energy Physics Laboratory. As a matter of fact, we are developing a colliding beam facility unique in the U.S. whose goal is to study the laws of electrodynamics to much smaller distances than possible so far. Harvard is not only "getting free" just another laboratory, but one that is most up-to-date...
...really relevant questions to ask are: (1) why does the Federal Government support completely such a large laboratory whose only function is to carry out research at the frontiers of knowledge without any expectation of military or technical application, and (2) why is it located in Cambridge...
Particle Physics is one of the most exciting fields of physics. It uses the most modern technology which costs a lot. Only the Federal Government is in position to support this work. The wisdom of the American taxpayer and of his representatives in Congress are responsible for the great opportunity provided Harvard and its sister institutions in the Cambridge area. It is the University which gains most directly. Karl Strauch Professor of Physics Director, Cambridge Electron Accelerator
...obvious cost of this dependence has become evident very recently. The university, by accepting huge amounts of federal support, has opened itself up to external political forces. Campus disorders have become the hottest political issue in years, and Congress, which has not had a good witch hunt in a long while, is responding magnificently...
...piece also showed how the university has become increasingly dependent on the federal government for support, how the university cannot merely kick the government off campus--because the structures that the government has helped build with research funding are all over the campus, and without federal money the entire university would collapse...
