Seymour E. Harris '20, president of the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors, the group that first opposed the loyalty oath requirement, reiterated the AAUP's dislike of the proposal, but he thought that the University would "probably take the money...
...from the stand-point of contemporary rationalizers of the New Deal, there seems to have been a great deal of groping with, of course, a maximum of philosophical and theoretical support for this blind exploring.

But he vigorously renewed Russia's demand that West Berlin alone be converted into a free city, contending this is needed to keep the area from becoming "a possible hotbed of war."
