...Alan O. Dann '55, an active recruiter in Connecticut, says the alumni's athletic recruting efforts blend in with its attempts to attract high-caliber high school students with different talents. Much of the recruiting drive is channeled through the National Student Scholarships Committee and the Schools Committees established by each of the 80 Harvard Clubs around the country. A total of about 3000 alumni are active in recruting students, with about 400 to 800 primarily involved in athletic recruiting, Dann says. "We just keep our eyes out for names--National Merit lists, science fair winners--and we also read...
...some members of the Class have swung moderately or radically to the left, the fact that slightly more than 50 per cent of the Class voted for former president Gerald R.

He even dresses the part of the fictional candymaker, donning velvet tuxedo, ruffled shirt, red velvet bow tie, top hat and cane. It seems a bizarre role for a onetime Wall Street investment banker with degrees in law, business administration and economics. But Uncle Al, the Kiddies' Pal, as he thinks of himself, is not just living out a childhood fantasy. The owner of Oakland's U.S. Chewing Gum Manufacturing Co. since...
Will Burns be right again? Even being "right" may lie more in the eye of the observer than in some objective measure. Republican Alan Greenspan, chairman of Ford's Council of Economic Advisers, believes that Burns "has done an extraordinarily effective job, especially in the economic and political environment of the last several years."
