...University added NDEA funds to its coffers for the first time last year, when the offensive provision for a disclaimer affidavit was repealed, but officials must be wondering how they ever did without. Although the last decade has seen a sharp expansion of Harvard's own loan program, from less than $80,000 to $600,000 last year, the strain of expansion had become considerable.

...required teachers to cooperate with congressional investigators even if the "powers of legislative inquiry are abused." He blasted athletic scholarships, "the greatest swindle ever perpetrated on American youth," bulled through the simon-pure code that now governs Ivy League football. He fought to repeal the federal student loan "disclaimer affidavit" ("we cannot legislate loyalty"), scorned the "methodological pedagogy" of teachers' colleges...
