The bill providing that real estate hereafter acquired by Harvard College, shall be subject to taxation, failed to pass the Massachusetts Legislature at yesterday's session. Those in favor of passing the bill maintained that Harvard already held more property than was necessary for legitimate purposes, and that it should not be permitted to acquire more. On a rising vote, the bill was rejected, 57 to 52.
By a vote of 59 to 37 the House rejected the bill providing for the taxation of all college property.
