His is a rather oldfashioned, very...
...Harvard Club's one-year-old slate of officers, brush off the old school's contentions. "Look, Philadelphia is a Princeton town," says David R. Scott '60, a lawyer in one of the town's largest law firms and vice president of the club, explaining the odd placement of the Harvard room.
