8 Takeaways From Harvard’s Task Force Reports
Chicago Tribune columnist Williams Fulton turned his attentions toward the Law School Monday in his third article on alleged University "cuddling" of Communists. He called the Law School an "assembly line" producing radicals for Washington.
Charges of Red activity at the University by Law School graduates Samuel P. Sears '37 and Frank B. Ober form the bulk of Fulton's story. He relates how in March Dean Griswold refused to comply when Sears demanded suppression of the allegedly subversive Harvard Lawyers Guild.
Fulton repeats Ober's 1949 protest to President Conant which denounced connections between University professors and so-called "Communist front" organizations.
Alger Hiss, who figured in Fulton's two preceding articles, is again a target for criticism. Another Law School alumnus, U. S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, is denounced as a sponsor of "Harvard radicals" for government posts.
