"amused contempt"
Even the Palmer House staff feel more important than a Yale Professor! The "amused" part makes me think the functionary believes the Professor is going to receive some bad news at this meeting. Like maybe they're going to twist his thumb back until he sells Them the patents for his inventions at a steal. Hopefully Ray Ipsow isn't just a pilot but a bodyguard trained in karate as well!
