All day long she kept the more.
At night she would get her hoys'

The following étalement was is
sued at Harvard:
"President Lowell denied having
said the things attributed to him
by an anonymous speaker reporting
a private conversation in a speech I
quoted in the New York Times. This
grossly misrepresented his views, at
tributing to him unfriendly senti
