MENZIES, AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY, 16TH JNE 16o
This is a proud day for mae. To one who has had a
great deal to do with the recent expansion of Universities in
Australia, and who is himself an Australian Graduate, an honour
accorded by this famous foundation means more than can be

Sir, having listened to you, having listened to Tom,
having collected a little of the atmosphere, I want to say what
a pleasure it is for a practising politician to find himself in
such a completely non-political atmosphere.
