...credit. In one swoop he angrily fired 179 State College officials & faculty members, remarking: "Boys, we've just hung up a new record!" So discredited was he that he refused to call a special tax session of the Legislature because its members would not first promise not to impeach him (TIME, June 22, 1931).
