Garber Privately Tells Faculty That Harvard Must Rethink Messaging After GOP Victory
At 55 Oakridge Road, Verona, N.J., a sign reads, "House For Sale to College Graduate--Acceptable College Only." Added underneath is "Harvard is not Acceptable."
Mrs. Marjorie Anderson, wife of the owner, John B. R. Anderson, said her husband had put up the sign because he is irked by the number of Harvard appointees to the new Democratic administration.
"We have been Republicans for years," Mrs. Anderson said. "My husband's grandfather was a Republican mayor of Pittsburgh."
"Look at the appointments President Kennedy made," she said wryly. "Harvard men, every one of them." As for the restriction to a "college graduate," she explained, "Well, it's a nice neighborhood." From the Newark Evening News of September 26, 1961.
