A gem of an invitation indeed.  More interesting to me would be to know 
whether it worked with Jacob Viner.  Clearly, the kind of 
classical-inspired monetary economics and macroeconomics that Frank 
Taussig (e.g. _Principles of Economics_) taught at Harvard and Jacob 
Viner learned and continued to teach at Chicago didn't endure at Harvard 
after the former left teaching there.
