...think merits any academic standing." Not all professors were even that dispassionate. J. P. Trinkaus, another biologist and master of Branford College, wrote loftily in the Yale Daily News in December that "much of the philosophy of the military runs counter to that of a university, and besides, low-level trade-school courses have no place at Yale...

Most are convinced that the faculty is being inconsistent. Says Hewitt Chapman, a junior taking Navy ROTC: "I think the faculty is playing politics.
