...Indian College was a gift to Harvard in 1653 from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel Among the Indians and Others. Its purpose was to house Indian scholars, and Commonwealth Commissioners financed its construction. But the original college was destroyed to make way for Stoughton College, located on what is now the site of Stoughton Hall.

He never mentions that Alger Hiss...
...then he had started his ministry in a small way by distributing Gospel literature at truck stops. At first the truckers did not want to listen to him. "Satan just didn't want us in the industry," Keys says. Driving late one night near Toronto, his religious feelings grew so strong, Keys recalls, that he "got out of the van, walked down the white line and claimed the highways of North America for Christ." Finally, in 1968 he acquired his first mobile chapel...
