Presumably, its members would include Veritas sympathizers and others who would "oppose, vigorously, all attempts at Harvard, to shackle, to suppress or to discourage the expression of the Constitutional, conservative, free enterprise point of view...

But the scale and speed of these advances have not satisfied the increasingly articulate nationalists, who fear that if the Federation is accorded dominion status when the question comes up in 1960, the colonialists will take advantage of their independence to suppress African rights. In line with the official policy, originally that of Cecil Rhodes, of giving the vote to every "civilized man," the white minority has held a decisive, though declining majority in the Federal Parliament...
