...government investigation. It is true that Harvard professors, unlike Governor Wilson and Governor Baldwin (who was long with the Yale faculty), prefer to act as advisers in various reform movements rather than to enter the field as candidates for election.

To those who continually shout that Harvard is a rich man's College overrun by snobs, these figures...
