Historian Flails Tie-Less Pupils

Samuel E. Morison '08, professor of History, yesterday informed his History 60 students that they would have to wear coats and ties if they wanted to be admitted to his class.

The student who provoked this announcement was without a tie and clad in a navy jacket similar to the one Professor Morison wears in the picture above, taken when he was a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy during the recent war.

Morison's edict gave many of his students qualms that he might be suffering from a "noblesse oblige" complex, a hangover from his officer days.
