- catalog description "The dispute between Harvard University and the City of Cambridge over the taxation of College property arose from the “Williamstown decision,” rendered in February, 1897; by which all college property occupied by professors paying rental to the Corporation could be taxed. Starting with this concession, the city taxed all College property during the years 1897, 1898, and 1899. For the first two years, the College paid all assessments in full, but at the same time registered a protest which was carried to the Supreme Court of Massachusetts in 1899. On January 4, 1900, the court decided against Cambridge and all money paid by the University was refunded; a city committee was appointed to consider further action on the matter. This committee brought a bill before the Massachusetts State Legislature framed to provide payment of taxes on college property by the state. The bill was defeated, and as a result, no college property is now taxed provided that it is used for college purposes.".
