Your assertion that the decision to move the Foundation Office from University Hall to Thayer Hall was a calculated also at either Dr. Counter or the Foundation is absurd. The proposed move has actually been under discussion for more than a year prompted first, by space issues and by the Foundation's need for access after the building's normal closing hours; and secondly, by the prospective renovation of University Hall in the next year or two. Moreover, Dr. Counter himself will retain an office in University Hall, hardly a step which suggests that the College is trying to punish...
Offensive two: The Crimson staff decided it was time to reinstitute their written war against Dr. Allen Counter ("Counter Drags the Foundation Down," Opinion, Oct. 25, 1994) by stating that his "miserable" conduct on race relations is the motivating force behind the Harvard Foundation move to Thayer Hall.

...move? It depends on whom you ask. Knowles says it is a result of space considerations and the upcoming renovations of University Hall. "Had we not secured (the Thayer Hall space) now for the Foundation, it was clear to me that when University Hall itself is renovated in the relatively near future, only much less desirable and much less central space would have been available," Knowles wrote in an Oct. 12 letter to the Foundation's Student Advisory Committee...
...Foundation's forced exile from University Hall is, we believe, a sign that Harvard administrators are finally going to get tough on S. Allen Counter. But rather than punishing the students who serve the Foundation, the University should consider moving Counter himself to the basement of Thayer--and leaving the best part of his organization alone...
