He hates to pass up a chance to find a new species, for the surface of tape-wormology has hardly been scratched...
Every time Nehru or somebody big like that comes to see Harvard, out rolls a big black Caddy limousine, a great gleaming beast that looks like a whale with windows. On ordinary days it is kept inside. But once a year the Hasty Pudding Organization brings its Ingenue-of-the-Year to Cambridge, to publicize itself and its little show, and for some reason the Pudding always gets to use the Pusey-boat for the ride down to the airport...
