...oath and sign a loyalty affidavit to the United States and its Constitution.‘A VERY UNCONSCIOUS TIME’The radicalism of the 1960s was not brewing at Harvard in 1959. Throughout 1959 headlines announcing steps to pressure Congress to remove the loyalty oath from the NDEA dominated The Crimson, yet College students present at the time consistently say that the loyalty oaths were not considered a pressing issue and concerned few.Most students, in fact, considered themselves apolitical at the time and were more concerned about gaining financially rewarding and prestigious jobs associated with a Harvard education...
...conservative to liberal in the space of a few decades, and no longer did Crimson editors support the Republican ticket. John F. Kennedy '40 was a former Crimson editor, the holder of a recent Harvard honorary degree, and the sponsor of the bill to abolish the loyalty oath for NDEA loan applicants, which The Crimson has ardently supported.

...permanent government is interested in buying a product from universities--research. It is not "aiding" higher education; the Congress "aids" it through NDEA and the Higher Education Act. The permanent government is relatively insulated from external political pressure; Congress is not insulated at all. In an examination of instances of direct federal control over higher education through the weight of funding (the NDEA oath, for example) we find that it has been Congress, not he permanent government, that has been involved--even though the Congressional share of total support is very small. The permanent government has consistently opposed Congress...
