With so many of their number already in Washington, Harvardmen knew where to look for their next alumni association president, elected CIA Deputy Director Robert Amory Jr., 46. A tough-minded law professor at his alma mater ('36) and a veteran of Cambridge, Mass., politics as a member of the town school committee, the little-known Bostonian went to work in the planned obscurity of Dullesville in the '50s, left the limelight to his Brahmin Boswell brother, Cleveland (Who Killed Society?) Amory...
Even those not bedeviled by the normal stereotype of professors might be surprised to learn that many of the widely-heraided Harvard men chosen by President-elect Kennedy for important appointments come from academic realms. For among the eleven Harvardmen picked so far are a lecturer in Economics who never finished his Ph.D. thesis, a former Law School dean who co-authored a book with President Kennedy's father, and the holder of the oldest chair of Law in the country who took a leave of absence to help write TV speeches...

I can understand that those visiting us from other areas, students from colleges of a different tradition, unacquainted with our way of life, see nothing wrong with shorts, sandals, and sports shirts. But Harvard men (much less Harvardmen) should know better. I call upon my brethren to return to the ways of old. Let us distinguish ourselves from the surrounding mass, with some outward sign of our inward grace. Let our sisters of Radcliffe repent their evilly unclad ways and join us in proud return to Cambridge traditions...
