Four Harvard professors have endorsed Sen. Birch Bayh (D.-Ind.) for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Last Friday the Committee for Birch Bayh released the endorsements of Samuel H. Beer '43, professor of Government, Lance M. Liebman professor of Law, James Vorenberg '49, professor of Law, and Walter J. McCann, Jr. '63, chairman of Programs and Administration, Planning and Social Policy.
Robert M. Solow '44, Institute Professor of Economics at MIT, drafted the statement, which the Harvard professors signed. Robert Preusser, a professor of Architecture at MIT and Steven Trachtenberg, associate vice president of Boston University, also endorsed Bayh.
The professors cited Bayh's legislative achievements and his role in the drafting of the Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth Amemdments to the Constitution, and the as yet unratified Equal Rights Amendment, as the reason for their endorsement.
