...attitude towards satellite na tions was stated by John Foster Dulles in Dallas just ten days before the election, and largely overlooked in the election excitement. The captive peoples, he said, "must know that they can draw upon our abundance to tide themselves over the period of economic adjustment" after breaking free of Moscow. What if these governments, like Gomulka's in Poland, are Communist? The U.S. does not "condi tion economic ties between us upon the adoption by these countries of any particular form of society." He also had a message meant to be digested in Moscow...

These committeees perform three func- tion. The "recruiting" one, whose importance varies directly with the Club's distance from Cambridge, now concerns intellectually promising high school students who would not ordinarily apply to Harvard. (Of course, a good scholar is not disqualified if he also happens to play fullback.) Generally more important is the screening role that the Club members play, interviewing local applicants to the College and relaying their evaluations to the Admission Office in Cambridge. Thirdly, the Club committees actually raise funds--a national total of $70,000 last year--to endow College scholarships for deserving local students...
