At Harvard, crimps in the federal large have not hurt so much as elsewhere, but the adulterated river of aid has put a hitherto overlooked entity into light. An informal lobby, presided over by Charles U. Daly, vice president for Government and Community affairs, has begun to feel the rest and strain of a hostile drift in Congress and to turn necessarily to a more visible role...
