...during the tenure of Nathan M. Pusey. Except for his refusal four years ago to accept student grants under the National Defense Education Act until its obnoxious affidavit had been eliminated and his courageous defiance of Senator McCarthy, Pusey has followed the practice of every president of Harvard since Cotton Mather, and kept out of politics.

The company's history is largely one of careful, unspectacular growth. Yet Deere produced the first cotton harvester, the first hay bale ejector and the first power steering for tractors. Under Hewitt, president for eight years, the emphasis has switched even more strongly to innovation, and Deere has abandoned its conservative image...
