...will hastily conclude that because the Harvard Corporation declined the Hanfataengl scholarship and has accepted the John Reed portrait, the university hates fascism and loves communism. The conclusion is, of course, ridiculous. Acceptance of the offer of Herr Hanfstaengl, one of Hitler's aides, would have signified at least tacit approval of the present German dictatorship. A like proposal from Moscow would doubtless be similarly rejected. Acceptance of a portrait of John. Reed, a man who died fifteen years ago, is merely compliance with the wish of a group of fellow graduates to honor his independence of mind and courage...
...fight liberals and progressives of other parties. One striking exception was Cutting, against whom a Democratic wheelhorse, Dennis Chavez, was nominated. After Cutting beat Chavez by 1,284 votes out of 151,000, his victory was contested.

Three years ago its Master, Professor Roger Bigelow ("Frisky") Merriman, showed such zeal in entertaining socially desirable freshmen that other House Masters complained that he was violating a tacit taboo against proselyting. Result was that the Dean's Office took over the job of assigning freshmen to Houses, switched squads of private school men away from Eliot and Dunster. With the social balance somewhat evened, the Masters last year got back with restrictions, the privilege of picking their...
