...Ramsay MacDonald, who dined with him last month. A liberal himself (he supported Cox and Davis because of the League issue, voted for Hoover last fall), he has in his immediate family almost every shade of liberal opinion. His eldest son (Thomas S.) is now, at 31, a Morgan partner, is far more conservative than Corliss, who voted for Smith and now teaches Philosophy at Columbia University. And while Mr. Lamont has received many an honorary degree, it was Mrs. Lamont who, after raising four children, earned a Ph.D. at Columbia...
