...assumed the grading situation was a given. Once the students brought its inequities and tension to their attention, the professors were willing if not eager to agree to reforms which would eliminate the grievances--much as the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, once awakened, realized that ROTC does not merit academic credit or any special treatment...
