- catalog description "In May 1937, a memorandum signed by one hundred and thirty-one junior members of the staff of teachers at Harvard was presented to nine full professors: E.M. Dodd (Law), Felix Frankfurter (Law), E.P. Kohler (Chemistry), E.M. Morgan (Law), Samuel E. Morison (History), Kenneth B. Murdock (English), Ralph Barton Perry (Philosophy), Arthur M. Schlesinger (History), and Harlow Shapley (Astronomy), setting forth certain reservations in regard to the management of the University, particularly promotion procedure at Harvard. Eight of the professors (excluding E.P. Kohler) referred the memorandum to Harvard President James B. Conant on May 18, 1937. Conant was persuaded to appoint the nine professors to a committee to investigate the general unrest at Harvard. Because Professor Morison was to be absent from the University during 1937-1938, Professor W.S. Ferguson (History) filled his place. Professor Kohler died on May 24, 1938; hence the committee of nine became a committee of eight. The most important recommendation of the Committee of Eight was the fixing of a maximum period of eight years of service for those on temporary or non-tenured assignments.".
