Delhi Correspondent Charles Mohr endured a scathing but brief attack on TIME during their first interview ("I don't suppose you are responsible for all the tripe that appears in TIME") but in subsequent sessions Menon relaxed, and shared with Mohr one of his birdlike lunches of puffed rice, hot salted nuts and many cups of tea.

President Pusey's first Hindu service in Memorial Chapel is broken up by rioting professors. For three days, Faculty riots sweep up and down the streets of Cambridge. Krishna Menon receives an honorary degree under Kleig lights and the tommy guns of tense University police. The General Education Committee announces that Menon will teach a lower level Humanities course, "as soon as Pusey gets these Christians off his back." Menon outlines his course for a CRIMSON reporter: "I think you will say, when you see my course, 'Oh my goodness me, what a lovely course!' In it, I seek...
