Lynd vouched for the Institute as scholarly rather than propagandistic.

Evidence

However, when the secretary to the university asked Lynd for written guarantees that if the Institute was assigned teaching duties and faculty status its activities would move within the desired channels, Lynd’s view was: … The only possible entanglement in this whole affair lies in the fact that the Institute is on the liberal-radical side. I have called this to MacIver’s attention, and think he is pretty well aware of it. From what little I have seen of their work, and from my conversation with Gumperz, I think it is fair to conclude that they are a research agency with high standards and not interested in propaganda. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 584 (#expands, via linked claim)
