Some History on Comrade Galbraith

The Harvard Crimson reports on the death of Comrade Galbraith:

Though a critic of the University, he was also a benefactor. In 1967, he anonymously donated all future royalties from his bestselling book, "The Affluent Society," to a fund for students "facing an unexpected crisis in their lives," according to Parker. Galbraith and Harvard administrators understood that the money would be used to fund abortions, Parker said.

Gailbraith donated to the Fogg Art Museum and the economics department as well. But he also fought with his more conservative colleagues. After the department rejected the tenure bids of two left-leaning associate professors, Galbraith—who supported the tenure-seekers—circulated a memo calling for the creation of a breakaway branch of the department that would teach "non-conventional" topics, including Marxism. The proposal never took root.

Comrade Galbraith wanted Marxism to be taught.
