As Harvard University treasurer, he increased the allocation of the endowment to equities just in time for the bull market of the 1950s, and as a corporate director in the 1960s he campaigned against conglomerates abusive takeover strategies.Having spent nearly two decades working for Cabots company, State Street Research & Management, as an analyst, research director, portfolio manager, and chief investment officer, Michael R.
