...reactions that accompany any major wave of immigration anywhere. Cockney housewives grimace at pungent cooking odors wafting from Indian kitchens, and early-to-bed British workingmen complain of being kept awake all night by twanging West Indian music.

For one thing, many faculty members resent the fact that Hayakawa was named without the approval of the "president-selection committee"-of which Hayakawa himself was a member. Dr. Nathan Hare, the Negro coordinator of the college's black-studies program, promptly predicted: "Hayakawa will go out faster than Smith. He takes the hard line. We'll be ready for him."
