...furor which arose over his departure was partly the work of his advises and partly that of 15 compus leaders who felt the Administration made a grave mistake not promoting him in the Department of Psychology, where he was as instructor for two years...

Yet a week later he accepted McCarthy's phony "FBI letter" with the assumption that it was authentic. As the letter furor mounted, he grew more cautious. He gave no one, not even McCarthy or Chairman Mundt, warning that he planned to call McCarthy to the witness stand...
