J. Dorsey Considers Most Harvard Men Stuffed Shirts

"Harvard men are stuffed shirts, from what I've seen of them," Jimmy Dorsey said in the recent interview. The saxophonist orchestra leader got this warped picture of Cambridge manhood when he played at a House dance several years ago.

"There are probably a lot of good guys there," Dorsey's manager charitably elaborated, "but we don't see them at dances. All the fellows we met were snobs, but their girls, surprisingly, were natural, and wanted to have fun."

"There isn't even a good dance floor at the University," he went on, "and furthermore, Harvard men should dress better before they act snobbish. They probably lose games because of their attitude," he said.
