Henry S. Pritchett to Wallace Buttrick, 11 November 1919

Pritchett objects to the GEB's full-time contracts: "Such a contract binding a university to a fixed policy laid down by the giver of money seems to me a dangerous thing." He adds: "If these contracts were made public, I am sure it would bring down on all educational foundations no less than on the universities themselves severe criticism."
