In answer to widespread criticism, Harvard University has officially explained to her alumni, in a statement by Arthur L. Endicott, controller, that the sudden dismissal of twenty scrubwomen from Widener Library had nothing to do with the decree of the Minimum Wage Commission except the time at which the change was made. The Harvard official did not show the inspector the pay roll but insisted that they were paying wages satisfactory to the commission. This conversation was reported to the commission and should be a part of the record at the State House, if that record is intact.
