Almost ten years ago, in April, 1929, Mr. Frank J. Ryan was appointed the first full-time publicity director in Harvard's history. This was, in itself, a tremendous innovation. Formerly, the University's press relations were in a deplorable state; a reporter was looked upon as someone to be avoided whenever possible. This attitude had serious consequences for Harvard...

While he was at it, smart Publisher Simon persuaded Mr. Satterlee to write a book showing people how to fill out their income tax returns. The 1936 and 1937 versions of Your Income Tax sold 80,000 copies. There was no 1938 edition.
