The flag before University Hall, however, remains crimson, not red. On June 18 John L. Lewis will be the principal speaker at the Harvard Business School Alumni Association's annual meeting. This is a "scoop" of the first order, for, next to President Roosevelt, Mr. Lewis is unquestionably the most formidable figure on today's American scene.
