Seymour E. Harris '20, professor of Economics, yesterday endorsed the NSA purchase-card program as "an important contribution towards the democratization of higher education" and as a "potent attack on high distributive costs."
Commenting on the purchase-card system at the request of Allen E. Kline '50, chairman of the purchase committee, Harris, who said he was speaking "as an economist who has some interest in the problem of financing higher education," stated that payment of college costs is "a great burden" on the average American family.
