0:35Now Playing"The specter of the draft hovered over us like a carrion bird. We tried not to think about it. Photographs of the past war fueled the fury of the young who had staked four years of academic toil, to build a career that might now be crushed. But most of all we were angry at the war itself, convinced it wasn't ours. That profiteers of imperial policy were the chief beneficiaries of the European conflict. Most of the radical members of the faculty, who had founded the Teachers Union during the early years of the depression had been fired. Harvard surrounded us in a cocoon, preserving all the pomp and illusions of the 1920s. Our rooms were cleaned, our beds were made each day by aging domestics."
