...antipathy is toward "gonna" historians--scholars who are always "gonna" write the great work. He had promised F.D.R. that would write the naval history himself, with only necessary assistance, which was provided by former pupils and one Yale man (an already established naval historian). His unbeatable approach left the Navy Department-- and the world--a first-hand account of what happened at sea. His example proved the military value of a scholar...
...equally harsh on friend and foe, announced a new project: a trip to Moscow to look over "this conflict between East and West."

The proposals, the Dean wrote, were "characterized by a curiously unscientific approach to the problem." In defense of the current admissions requirement, Bender pointed out that additional prerequisites might lead to "a serious decline in the quality of the Harvard student body...
