...judgment that the reprimand is deserved is, I regret to say, not altogether unfounded.

...Dean Theodore Blegen of the University of Minnesota that tagged S.U.N.Y. "an academic animal without a head," recommended a leading central campus to give all the others some sense of unity and direction. The trustees rejected the idea, and for the first time turned on Carlson himself with a reprimand for letting the report out. S.U.N.Y., they said in effect, will go right on being a vocational supplement to the private colleges and universities...
