Abstract

"Oathism" on the Campus
Sullivan, Kevin | December 5, 1959 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the withdrawal of Harvard and Yale Universities, from the federal student-program. Because of the loyalty-affidavit requirement, there was a ripple of applause through academic groves and a murmur of approval from editorial corners. Educators, for the most part, perhaps secretly gratified that they were at last receiving any kind of attention, took the punishment quietly, for there was now a hope that once the furor died down the end of talk would be the beginning of action.
