...shyness or modesty or whatever you want to call it is contagious. Then he looks up from his desk in the midst of his Widener Library office and searches slowly and carefully for the answer, and his response is characteristically low-key. Bryant, who has more titles following his name than probably anyone else at Harvard, doesn't push himself. "I don't type file cards," he says quietly...

Yet even if Bryant can't recognize students by name or by face, he's done as much for them as anyone else in Harvard's recent history. Every student who uses the library system while at school--and that, of course, means every student--is touched by the accomplishments of this man who sits among the bookcases and memorabilia of 30 years of Harvard...

That such checks occur independently of covert recruitment is of course no argument to challenge controls over them when they are connected...
