Chosen to give the lectures was Wisconsin-born Professor Sumner Huber Slichter, who at 45 commands respect from conservatives and liberals alike for his economic sagacity. In muddy shoes and a weather-stained suit, he lectures with his thick white pompadour and craggy nose bent over his desk, seems surprised when he looks up to find students present. Between classes he rushes back to his office to dictate one of the half-dozen reports, books or articles on which he works at once.
