Challenging this notion is small (1,050 students), Quaker-founded Earlham College in Richmond, Ind. Its pres ident, Landrum Boiling, observes that "our justification for existence and for charging the relatively high fees we do must be that we do a superb job of teaching." Toward that end, Earlham got a $20,000 grant from the Danforth Foundation of St. Louis, under which Earlham teachers can invite experts in their fields to sit in their classrooms, observe their techniques and assess their abilities...
...challenger. The I.U.E.'s five-man board of trustees counted the ballots and announced that Carey had won. Jennings filed a federal court suit, charging fraud. Many rank and filers also complained to the Labor Department-and last month Government investigators, acting under the Landrum-Griffin Act, subpoenaed the I.U.E. election records.

The insurgents got support from labor, which has the authors of the Landrum-Griffin Act on the same blacklist as the authors of the Taft-Hartley...
...preferable to an apostate, and he led 25 or 30 Southern conservatives into the liberals' camp. In the Democratic caucus, the vote for the available Ways and Means place was 161 for Pat Jennings, the only liberal member of Virginia's House delegation, to 126 for Landrum. Since both Jennings and Tennessee's Bass are loyal Administration supporters, their election certainly strengthened the chances of passing the fiscal legislation President Kennedy believes is vital. But McCormack's inability to deliver his end of the bargain was an ominous sign, another reminder of the tenuous control...
