President Conant has mapped out a rosy future for Harvard in general and his own regime in particular. By means of national scholarships the hand of Harvard is going to reach out across the United States and pull out the plums of the American intellect. As a concrete example of progress toward this end, next year these scholarships are to be extended to ten states, where six are now on the program...
Another problem with which the Group IV man has to cope is the extent of his interest in outside activities, which detract from study time and yet are worthy.

Craig commends his subordinate's professional efficiency and brilliant intellect, but calls his remarks before the House Appropriations subcommittee flippant and in direct breach of accepted army policy: which is that no political utterances should be made by an army officer. Hagood's statements, designedly or otherwise, brought criticism and ridicule upon the army and his superiors, including the Commander-in-Chief, and are so much...
