From The Techniques of Communism by Louis F. Budenz, 1954
On the faculties of some of our larger universities, the following are conspicuous for their presence on Communist fronts through the years and by their aid to other Communist causes :From Yale : Thomas I. Emerson, Fowler V. Harper, Halford E. Luccock, Dr. John Peters.
University of Chicago : James Luther Adams, Rudolf Carnap, Dr. John B. Thompson, Kermit Eby, Edith Abbot, Dr. Anton J. Carlson, Wayne McMillen.
Columbia University : Corliss Lamont, Robert Lynd, Dorothy Brewster, Bernhard J. Stern, Walter Rautenstrauch (now deceased), Clark H. Foreman.
Harvard : Harlow Shapley, Kirtley Mather, Ralph Barton Perry, Dr. Alben Butler.
Smith College : Dorothy Douglas (retired after many years as full professor), S. Ralph Harlow, Mervin Jules, Oliver Larkin.
At Princeton, N. J. we find Dr. John A. Mackay and Paul H. Lehmann at the Theological Seminary, and Dr. Irwin Panofsky and Albert Einstein at the Institute for Advanced Study.
We could also include many others, adding Montague Francis Ashley Montague, chairman of the department of anthropology at Rutgers University ; Maurice Halperin, head of the Latin-American department of Boston University, who confesses in effect that he has been a Soviet espionage agent for years ; Louise Pettibone Smith of Wellesley College; Eda Lou Walton of New York University ; Ephraim Cross and Abraham Edel of the City College of New York ; and Derk Bodde of the University of Pennsylvania. (The names of these educators appear in a number of reports of the House Committee on Un-American Activities . . . They are all mentioned in �Communism in the Colleges,� J. B. Matthews, American Mercury, May, 1953).
If we would go into the less conspicuous cooperators with the conspiracy in each of these institutions, the list would grow to formidable proportions. The smaller colleges are not immune . . . On June 1, 1953, as an indication of this, Dr. Charles J. Turck, lawyer and president of Macalester College at St. Paul, made an impassioned attack on all Congressional inquiries. Dr. Turck was doing a piece of special pleading. He was a prominent member of the Communist-created Mid-Century Conference for Peace, and has been a familiar name on other Communist front lists. The faculties of Oberlin, the University of Miami, Kentucky, Nebraska, Kansas, Oregon, West Virginia, Reed College in Oregon, Bible College in Missouri — to mention only a few — furnished sponsors or members to front organization and to cooperators with Communist causes. Other women�s� colleges than those mentioned hitherto, namely Mt. Holyoke and Bryn Mawr also were represented, and of course, Hunter College in New York.
Methods of Using Educators In addition to serving the Kremlin in the classroom and the academic world, educators are valuable to the Soviet fifth column in the following ways : by raising finances for the Communist Party and Comunist causes ; by influencing governmental circles ; by invading the field of science, where Moscow knows America is strong, to undermine that strength by subversion ; by encouragement of and participation in undercover work, specifically in espionage assignments to obtain American defense secrets.

Comment How many of the above-mentioned agents could have been named incorrectly ?Before the reader would be taken in by some more recent propaganda about the �witch-hunts� in the 1950�s some such listings as those given by L. Budenz can be checked out, name by name.
