Other recommendations concerned the establishment of better relations between students at the college and New Haven residents. "City police should not use clubs on students or enter student rooms except to stop crime," the commission urged, and particular care should be taken in choosing the policemen who make foot patrols in the university area. In addition, clearer distinction should be made between the jurisdiction of the city police and that of the campus...
...free will to tax ourselves for the good of our neighbors-the wealthiest to pay the most taxes. We give to "drives" for the public good; rich men endow colleges and research foundations.

However, the attitude of the atheist-agnostic group toward undertaking the risks of world government was the same as for the undergraduates as a whole--evenly divided almost exactly--except that, out of the 30 people who responded that they were indifferent to the whole issue, ten were agnostics and one an atheist! On one of the most crucial questions of the twentieth century, it appears, the "enlightened skeptic" exceeds his believing brethren only in an appalling kind of apathy...
