...junior faculty is based on a three-year instructorship followed by a five-year assistant professorship." This remark is totally misleading unless one realizes that Harvard is the only school in the country requiring a Ph.D. in hand for all instructors. In all other major universities (Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Berkeley), a man who actually holds the Ph.D. automatically becomes an assistant professor. Therefore, Harvard instructors (all of whom must have Ph.D.s) would be assistant professors at any other university and would consequently earn higher salaries...
...Like Berkeley? Alabama legislators called for an investigation of the student fund that produced Emphasis. The articles, cried Representative Ralph Slate, indicated that some Alabama students "want to run the university like they do in Berkeley." Senator Alton Turner contended that Rose had "outlived his usefulness." Representative Gus Young, a Baptist minister, complained that Rose had used the word "damn" in a speech and asserted that legislators "have just as much right to defend Christianity and democracy as anybody else has to defend Communism." A bill was introduced in the legislature to ban any speaker at the university...
...years "since Berkeley" (Fall, 1964), college campuses in many parts of the country have reportedly witnessed an unprecedented level of organized student protest over campus conditions. Many of the "issues" are old ones: food service, dress regulations, dormitory regulations, curriculum inflexibility, quality of teaching. Others may be new, such as the nature of rules regarding appearances on campus of controversial figures, alleged fraternity discrimination, degree of student participation in campus policy-making. During the academic year 1964-1965, more colleges were scenes of demonstrations about dormitory and other living group regulations and campus food service than about U.S. posture...
...seems to be a new urgency and stridency. The "campus-issue protesters," often led by legitimate (elected) student leaders, have borrowed some of the tactics of the student leftists -- the marches, sit-ins, and confrontation strategies of the civil rights movement, for example. Nor have the strategies of the Berkeley activists gone unnoticed by students around the country generally seeking more limited objectives...
...means is about the limit of the comparability of the campus protesters and the off-campus oriented student leftists. The local issue protesters came together and then fade away as fast as campus sore points are discovered and then patched up. With only a handful of exceptions, such as Berkeley's SLATE, local-campus activism is entirely lacking in organizational and even personnel continuity. There have been no coherent sets of unifying beliefs -- educational or political...
