...legend of Conant the Wandering Scholar therefore has little substance. An undergraduate impression--also shared by many alumni and even some faculty members--that is harder to kill is of Conant the Cold-Fish Chemist. The 59-year-old Conant is no rollicking extrovert, but stuffed-shirt dignity is also not a part of his character. The summer after he was elected president he spent abroad with his wife; they created a sensation by traveling second-class on the "Europa."

French diplomats thought that President Auriol would be just the man for Americans to listen to. A cheerful, bubbling extrovert with a good, plain-spoken word for everybody, Auriol looks and acts like the mayor of a thriving French town (which he was for 15 years) or like a man who would enjoy a musical evening with Harry Truman.
