Attorney Gen. v. President & Fellows of Harvard College
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided January 31, 1966PublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtWhittemore, J.
This information in equity to enforce a trust, brought by the Attorney General at the relation of members of the Association for the Arnold Arboretum, Inc., challenges the acts of the defendant under a resolution of January 19, 1953, in removing to Cambridge, from the Arnold Arboretum premises in the Jamaica Plain district of Boston, the bulk of the library and herbarium of the Arboretum. The basic issue is whether this removal was a breach of the trust under which the Arnold Arboretum was established and developed. The facts are found in a master’s report.
