New Committee Is Named by Pusey To 'Push' College

President Pusey took this week what appeared to be another step towards the realization of the long-considered eighth House at Harvard. He announced the establishment of an alumni committee to consider certain fiscal and financial problems of the University.

It is expected that the committee will concern itself mainly with raising funds for an eighth House, which Pusey has called for many times in addresses to various alumni bodies.

Appointed to head the committee was Alexander M. White '25, president of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and managing partner of a Wall Street investment banking firm. White will choose the other members of the group.

In announcing the formation of the committee, Pusey said that "the Harvard Corporation has decided that the next few years should see an intense effort on the part of the administration, faculty, alumni, and friends of Harvard to push forward the College."

There was also speculation that the committee would probably consider the possible effects of expansion of Harvard College's enrollment. Many who oppose expansion feel that if the College were made larger, the quality of education would be reduced considerably.
