Harvard's new tritular head is sketched by David G. Braaten '46, a former CRIMSON cartoonist and now a courier for the State Department.
Braaten writes from Madrid, "I couldn't figure out any other way to get an egghead, a figurehead, and a hardheaded fund-raiser into the same cartoon. If this looks as though it were done between trains in a dingy Bilbao hotel room lit by a single naked bulb, it's because it was. Of course, it would have looked the same if it had been done in a north-lighted studio overlooking the Seine, but a guy has to have some excuse."
Braaten's cartoons have been collected in the book, "Inside Harvard."
This is the 16th of the scientific series on the University's new chief executive. The next meeting of the Board of Overseers, when a new president could be approved, will be on May 11 and 12.
