While Herter would be a good choice, Dewey now has a close political rapport with the Republican congressmen, something that would have served Dean Acheson and Dulles very well. Furthermore, his greater administrative experience and prestige outweigh the Massachusetts governor's early experience in foreign relations, experience that centers in the 1920's, for the problems of today are new, and exposure to the diplomacy of then, while helpful, is not vital...

Among his first students were such incipient barristers as Dean Acheson, Joseph N. Welch, and Archibald MacLeish. Chafee hopes his lectures "did they no harm." Since 1919 Chafee, in the capacity of full professor, has preached the primacy of the First Amendment, its defense and its preservation...
