...then signed a confidential letter of complaint to the trustees-an action that Oxnam used as an excuse for firing him. Although Oxnam was backed by the trustees and by a special investigative committee appointed by the Methodist Church, the seminary remained unrepentant. Divinity students undertook a series of protest demonstrations and last fall the resignations began...
Lipset concludes that there are more activists among humanities and social science students than among engineers; freshmen and sophomores, who are likely to be "anxious, disoriented and lonely" after leaving home, are prime can didates to join protest movements. The better universities, which have "the most creative, intellectually oriented and lib eral faculties," influence the more affluent students away from the conservatism of their parents.

Martin Peretz asked why there was no American Student Union against the draft and the war of half a million students at the least. It was a disturbing challenge.

But the protesters are well organized; one dissenter, the Rev. Martin Marty of the University of Chicago Divinity School, smilingly classifies them as the church's "leading editorial, ministerial, theological and professional Cosa Nostra." Thus as long as the war is unresolved, clerical protest will doubtless continue. Next week, for example, when Yale Chaplain William Sloane...
