Education: No Harvard Gigolos

Harvard University was complacent last week when the Harvard Student Employment Office announced that more than half of the student body earned part or all of their college expenses, that total annual earnings were estimated to be near $500,000. But Harvard was surprised at reports current in the press: that the Employment Office discreetly, quietly furnished dancing partners to a young ladies' seminary near Boston—gigolos!

Investigation revealed what published accounts had not: that one lady had asked the Employment Office for the names of six lonely men who might like to attend the annual Prom at a small suburban school. There were no conditions attached to the invitation. No pay was offered. Harvard evinced no great enthusiasm.
