...chance to see the Red Pepper at such close range. For news had been trickling out of Washington that the Red Pepper was slated for appointment to a very important nine man sociological commission Even the orthodox trade association to which he nominally belonged was overwhelmingly in favor of his promotion...
This scouting stuff, by the way, is really something. Harlow likes only two or three scouts, but some of the other colleges favor the mass angle Yale's Ducky Pond, for example, sends out a veritable mass of assorted coaches, undergraduates, and willing alumni. Last year he sent seven scouts to see Harvard play Princeton. At the Dartmouth game last Saturday it was rumored that he had seven spies on the Green and an equal number for the Crimson.

Although many students, particularly those in the social sciences, favor the policy of encouraging instructors to participate in outside affairs, because it gives nourishment of a practical kind to their teaching, it is apparent that for the sake of Harvard such men must recognize a limit to their actions. They are in the same position as the President of the United States, who is always regarded as President whether he is speaking in behalf of the Democratic Party or the Warm Springs...
