Russia is now bent on thawing out the cold war. Last week the U.S.S.R. slowed down the Sovietization of their half of Germany. In Korea, the lines of peace were being drawn on maps while the war went bloodily on. In Vienna, the Russians relaxed their iron hand. In Belgrade, they made overtures to the heretic, Tito. They even confessed that in postwar policy they had made some "mistakes."

Once Pusey has hired an assistant professor, there is no iron rule about promotion. He requests each year a list of publications by the faculty, but as he says, "Out in this part of the country, we put much emphasis on the great teacher concept. I am in no way minimizing scholarship and research, but I can see little value in large volumes of short articles." At Lawrence, where the faculty carries a heavy teaching load, Pusey has been very tolerant about a small published output. Then, too, the College library with its 75,000 volumes is too limited...
