...grounds of teaching capacity and scholarly ability." Skeptical friends of Instructors Walsh and Sweezy thought differently. Walsh, a baldish, handsome nephew of Montana's late Senator Thomas J., has been a member of Harvard's economics department since 1929, when he graduated from Beloit College in Wisconsin. Gaunt young Instructor Sweezy, a Harvardman of the Class of 1929 and onetime president of the Daily Crimson, entered the economics department in 1934 after studying on Harvard fellowships in England and Austria.

Struck to the heart because he fails to recognize gaunt-faced Schoolmistress Throssel as the girl whom he once compared, in a nice turn of rhetoric, to a garden, she creates a new identity for herself-that of Livvy, her imaginary niece. Artifice having restored the necessary ringlets, dashing Valentine conspires to his own defeat. After succumbing to her petticoat...
