In Again, Temporarily

Harvard's Dr. Helen Deane Markham, who has been in & out of her job as assistant professor of anatomy because of her refusal to say whether she is or has ever been a Communist, was in again. When Dr. Markham clammed up before the Jenner Subcommittee last March, the Corporation of the University cleared her of Red affiliations, announced she would keep her job. Then an FBI undercover agent identified Dr. Markham and her husband as Communists; Harvard reopened the case, suspended her with pay.

Last week, in a masterful bit of fence-straddling, the Corporation reinstated her, but announced that she would not be reappointed when her present term expires next June. Cried the Boston Herald: "A ponderous pussyfooting . . . You can no more be partially loyal than you can be partially pregnant."
