Strings Attached: How Harvard’s Wealthiest Alumni Are Reshaping University Giving
Although many undergraduates may not realize it, Harvard has become involved with the University of Cambridge in a heated race to raise funds for Spanish children. Columbia is engaged in a like competition with the Sorbonne.
The "Student Forum," left-wing British student publication, which furnishes this information, discloses that the Light Blue has already raised $2,000, running a poor second to Oxford which has contributed $6000. All the large English universities appear to be competing.
