Harvard Still On Track To Reach Fossil Fuel-Neutral Status by 2026, Sustainability Report Finds
Frank W. Crocker '21, attorney to the Treasurer of the University. Paul C. Cabot '21, last night rebuked the claims of a Boston realtor for a $25,000 payment for a lost commission from the University.
The real estate dealer, Edward J. Fitzgerald, who filed suit for the sum Thursday, contends that the University hired him to arrange the sale of some unused Harvard property on the Soldiers Field Road.

Fitzgerald asserted in his suit that he found a buyer prepared to pay $210,000 for the vacant land, but that the University failed to carry the deal through and gave him no compensation for his efforts.
Crocker said that the University did not hire Fitzgerald to handle the real estate sale, but that the dealer volunteered to get a buyer for the property. The University, however, received a more advantageous bid, Crocker added, and by passed Fitzgerald's offer.
