Stevenson Makes Rapid Tour of College

By Claude E. Welch jr.

Adlai Stevenson made a supposedly "non-political" whirlwind tour of the College yesterday, admiring the architecture of Quincy House and the talk of host David Riesman '31, Henry Ford II Professor of Social Sciences, and then doing a little politicking in the semi-sacred precincts of the Faculty Club.

The former Presidential candidate lunched with Riesman, Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. '38, professor of History, John Kenneth Galbraith, professor of Economics, Seymour Harris '20, Lucuis N. Littauer Professor of Political Economy, and his son Borden. "It was a political bull-session," Borden commented after the luncheon party broke up. Both Galbraith and Schlesinger are members of the Policy Committee of The Americans for Democratic Action.

Stevenson, however, disavowed any intention of trying to drum up support for a possible third nomination. "I am here to see my son," he stated, as he left on the four o'clock plane to New York, after a brief four-hour stay in Cambridge.

His conferences with the professors ended. Stevenson quickly left.
