...research, but also in a regrettable resistance to an acceptance of the ideas the university has to offer and a rejection by the community of the university's influence. Harvard's school plan, for instance, might easily have been refused by Boston not because of its lack of intrinsic merit, but because of a subjective coloration based on the invective of men like McCarthy...

Over the governor's veto, they also passed a 2? addition to the cigarette tax, to be turned over to the schools. They postponed Lee's program for merit raises, in effect put Utah's teachers in line for a blanket salary increase of $200.
