When he announced plans for revamping the curriculum in January, Brown's president Henry M. Wriston charged that "most textbooks are hardly worth reading. If they are not barren of ideas, they are impoverished in that respect. The minds of freshmen need to be awakened to a new adventure. The great mistake in American education from kindergarten through graduate school has been an underestimation of the capacity of students...

Refusal to testify creates suspicion and distrust, both in the minds of the investigating Congressmen and in the minds of the general public. Regardless of how justified these investigations may be, the teacher who irritates the Velde committee by his silence at the same time encourages...
