HARVARD PRESIDENT CULTIVATED NAZIS IN 1930'S

Scholar: Harvard president cultivated Nazis
Harvard cozied up to the Nazis in the 1930s, according to new research. University President James Conant hosted Nazi officials in 1934 and 1935 and cultivated friendly relations with German universities after their Jewish students had been kicked out, University of Oklahoma historian Stephen Norwood said at a conference in Boston on Sunday. The conference was sponsored by the David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies. Harvard officials disputed the account. “The university was then and is now repulsed by everything that Hitler represents,” a Harvard spokesman said in a statement, according to the Boston Globe.
