Harvard Summer School officials express "grave concern" over the enrollment of only 21 people at the school. Ex-freshman dean and new Summer School director F. Skiddy von Stade Jr. '37 announces that he hopes to rescue the school with the addition of a rigorous program in polo. "I see this as a democratic program well suited to the school's populist tradition," von Stade explains...
