Meeting here during vacation, the National Council of Geography Teachers attempted to settle the Cape Cod controversy over the site of the landing of the Pilgrims.
Harold S. Kemp, instructor in Geography, took up the cudgels in favor of Provincetown over Plymouth, but, he said, "the Pilgrims stayed there only two or three days because the Indians were not yet in the tourist business."
Branding the coastal spot as sterile, Kemp declared, "If we are proud of our ancestors here, it should be, not because they came over on the May-flower, but because they didn't go back on her."
