The Faculty has felt it necessary to consider so many "special" problems in the aftermath of the Dow and Paine Hall punishments simply because these punishments are inappropriate responses to the political activities they seek to deter...
...seemed. But in the aftermath of the brief excitement, Columbia's acting president Andrew W. Cordier faced up to a nagging legal issue.

More important to Snow's long...
