President George Meany's recent speech on the state of the U.S. economy-"because we want our young people, who do not know what capitalism means, to learn about the drawbacks of your system, not from the words of Mr. Khrushchev, who is known to be anticapitalist, but from Mr. Meany, who supports capitalism." He was getting more playful as the conversation continued, and after one more critique of capitalism, he asked: "Is this propaganda?" He seemed delighted when Dick Scammon said: "In a word...

And he raises some reverberating questions. What is the moral responsibility of an American university? Has it any? Should a university have convictions-or no convictions? Should it be neutral against all religion? Or encourage Christianity as the most-favored faith? Or what...
