"Don't ever give up your contempt for Harvard 'babies'; but when the rattles start sounding from Arizona, Montana, Texas, Florida, and other parts of the country, think of us Harvard 'babies'," said Alvin M. Josephy '36, in a letter he sent yesterday afternoon to United States Senator Huey P. Long. This was the first shot in a nation-wide campaign to unseat the gentleman from Louisiana.
