(We might mention among the less successful deals that which made John Hancock Treasurer of Harvard College, which responsible post the great signer filled to perfection except that he completely failed to render any account of his transactions.) There are great mines of valuable information on the development and perpetuation of the liberal tradition at Harvard, opposed at the beginning by Increase Mather and at the three-hundredth mark by that slightly more sooty historical character, William Randolph Hearst.
