Harvard Salaries

When Professor Yandell Henderson of Yale University told the American Association of University Professors about low professorial salaries three weeks ago (TIME, Dec. 7), he pictured Harvard University as a Horrid Example, where only 23% of the university's total income was paid out in salaries. Harvard has an able, personable young secretary for information, Robert Keen ("Bob") Lamb. A diligent informer. Secretary Lamb took pencil & paper and last week announced that Harvard last year paid nearly $5,000,000 for salaries and research work out of a total income of $13,000,000. Thus, Harvard's percentage was not 23% but between 35% and 40%.
