  • Harvard Hears of the Marshall Plan1
    Copyright The Harvard Crimson HARVARD HEARS OF THE MARSHALL PLAN1 Fifteen Years ago Secretary of State George Catlett Marshall addressed the first postwar Commencement at Harvard. This is the story of his epochal speech. By Robert E. Smith AS the endless line of degree candidates and dignitaries formed in the Old Yard at Harvard's first fully normal Commencement since the war, George C. Marshall chatted with Edmund M. Morgan, then Royall Professor of Law. Morgan, who was to escort the Secretary of State in the procession to the steps of Memorial Church, mentioned that Marshall's apparent anxiety about his coming performance was unusual. "He assured me that he was expected to say something of importance," recalls Morgan, "Who expected it? He did not specify." Secretary of State Marshall and General Bradley on the steps of the Fogg Museum. Even President James B. Conant, who had entertained the old General at his house the evening before, was not led to expect a major address from Marshall. But word of Harvard's honorary degree to Marshall and his appearance at the University had leaked to the press 24 hours earlier. The New York Times that morning wrote, "He is expected to de- 1 This article was published in the Friday, May 4, 1962 issue of The Harvard Crimson Review and reprinted with permission granted by The Harvard Crimson. liver a speech which perhaps will include an important pronouncement on foreign affairs."

  • New-Look Lavietes for Completion
    JOHN HARVARD'S JOURNAL documentary by former player Melis- sa Johnson ’00, “act as if” involves con- vincing oneself that challenges are sur- mountable and goals are attainable. As Delaney-Smith explained in the film, she encourages players to act as if they are not tired and to act as if they are great shooters. “The body,” Johnson wrote in a New York Times essay accom- panying the film, “follows where the mind leads.” “Act as if” embodies Delaney-Smith’s belief that performance is at least 80 percent mental. She has long drawn on motivational techniques from academic disciplines like psychology and leader- ship. As Maura Healey ’92 and Trisha Brown ’87 recalled, their coach em- ployed visualization, mindfulness, and sports psychology in the 1980s, decades before they were in vogue. She and her players are currently studying Harvard Business School associate professor Amy ing strong relationships, a critical skill for Kathy Delaney-Smith, the winningest Cuddy’s work on body language and pres- recruiting and molding top athletes.
