Death of a Harvard Man Robert G. Stone, Harvard class of '45 and longtime member of the Harvard Corporation, has died.

Stone was, of course, the senior fellow of the Corporation that chose Larry Summers. I have no idea how he felt about the current turmoil, but it's a safe bet that Stone, who loved Harvard, hated to see the distress at his alma mater. It surely wasn't what he wanted.

His death now has an extra sadness, the knowledge that he did not live long enough to see Harvard right itself. One wishes that Mr. Stone, a loyal and devoted servant of Harvard, could have lived just a little bit longer, to see a brighter day in Cambridge.  ¶ 7:57 AM
