...wants the Class of '29 to finance an alumni "watchdog Committee" which would bring professors' "socialistic and communistic" views into the arena of public debate, whereupon teachers would either change their ideas or change their jobs. But he forgets there already is such a committee, pledged and capable to screen Communists from employment. Its name is the Harvard Corporation, and it consists of seven alumni whose sound economics not even Mr. Robertson would question.
