- catalog description "In 1946, the Harvard Corporation approved "The Bailey Plan," which was intended to avoid waste and duplication of financial resources. Under the plan, a large number of library materials, herbarium samples, and Arboretum funds were to be re-directed to the Botany Departments in Cambridge. Opponents of the Plan felt that it removed too many of the Arboretum's resources, and also argued that it violated the terms of the James Arnold Trust, which endowed the Arnold Arboretum since its inception. In an effort to protect the Arboretum's resources, a group of approximately 600 Harvard Alumni and Scholars formed the Association for the Arnold Arboretum. The Association tried to convince Massachusetts Attorney General Fingold (the only one with legal standing to sue a trust) to file suit against Harvard, but he declined. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled in Fingold's favor. In 1958, the Association successfully convinced Massachusetts Attorney General Edward J. McCormack, Jr. to allow them to file suit in his name against Harvard in an attempt to stop The Bailey Plan. In 1966, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled 3-2 for Harvard.".
