...Dean Whitlock said yesterday that in 1973 the University studied the feasibility of shifting registration to avoid this year's conflict. The inquiry, he said, showed that only moving registration to the preceeding Friday would have been possible...
...Harvard soon dropped the plans because of a lack of ready alumni funds and the completion of another University building. According to Whitlock, who traveled through the country in the late 50s seeking funds for the new building, alumni gifts only ran up to $4000, while approximately $500,000 was needed.

But he then discounts such a theory: "I was too close to it," he says, to miss such machinations...
