Conant Shows Latent Talent By Posing for Stogie Picture

"Harvard University's Place in the Industrial Diversification of Cambridge" was President Conant's weighty after-dinner speech topic at the annual dinner of the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce, but for Boston newspapermen it was the President's kindness toward a certain press photographer that made the evening interesting.

The American Cigar Institute each year offers a substantial prize to the photographer taking the best picture of a prominent individual with a cigar in his mouth. Nobody ever used President Conant as a target before, but the photog who did found the man who has won several "well-dressed man" bids quite amenable.
