Memories of Nathan Pusey... abound?
What about memories of Larry Lowell. What about Paul Samuelson being denied tenure.
 

Pusey's "impassioned objections" to McCarthy? It was more like "don't you come interfering with Harvard to clean out Communists -- we can clean out Communists on our own". And so Prof. Wendell Furry, a distinguished physicist, was brought up on charges to the Governing Boards.
 

Brown and Yale are missing too; the other Ivies signed. Any theories? The reason may not be the same in each case.
 

Javier Hernandez (who writes for the Crimson) covers this for the Globe today, and has Harvard's answer (they don't sign petitions, and Faust wrote directly to the British university group).
 

Specifically in the Globe article:
'Harvard president Drew G. Faust, who took office July 1, sent a private letter to the British union on her second day in charge, calling the boycott "deeply inimical to academic values worldwide'"'. Hernandez goes on to report that the proposed ban has not been approved yet and that discussion is being encouraged. Faust's letter, and the Times petition, will presumably be influential. So put your memories of Lowell, Pusey, etc. on hold. Perhaps she should give a morning prayer address on it and stick it on her website.
 

Good suggestion--though there may not be many people attending mornign prayer right now.
 

anyone wonder about the Dean of the College position?
 

Wonder what?
 

Has anyone heard any rumors?
 

Why has there been no committee formed to look for a new Dean? Where does Gross go?
