Coolidge maintains that "encouraging graduate students to involve themselves in the museum is not do-goodism. Rather it is a calculated response to a basic change in the nature of the American art world." He argues that the art historian today must be a generalist, ready to teach a course, write a book or put together an exhibition. Accordingly he has tried to make the Fogg a homogeneous community where there is no distinction between curator and professor or grad student and junior staff member...
...them the museum is simply a visual library, but Coolidge has made every effort to make it a good one. Years back, Wilhelm Koehler resolutely ignored the Fogg's collection and taught his course on Romanesque sculpture from battered photographs. But last semester Linda Seidel used the originals to teach a course on restorations and forgeries in Romanesque sculpture. Coolidge says, "You cannot discuss the nature of genuine surface or the problems of recutting by studying beaten-up photographs...
After he began working on the Bruin, Weiss found a double inspiration in a U.C.L.A. husband-wife anthropology team, Lewis and Sally Binford. "They're heretics," he says.

...Ford feels that the real need is for them to return, join the struggle to expand the economic and political control of blacks within their own community.

Looking back, he wonders whether Northwestern treated Negroes much differently than the world out side. "You come into the university expecting to find an ideal situation," he says. "But an upper-middle-class conservative school isn't immune to bigotry...
...classic demagogue swayed the crowd through oratory. Polls sometimes suggest a kind of demagogy in reverse: the crowd seems to sway the politicians through the polls. One expects those who seek high office to speak out with courage and conviction, to teach the people, to lead. Instead, the candidates seem increasingly guided by pollsters-semivisible oracles who claim to know what millions of U.S. voters think and feel. How many Americans have ever talked to a pollster, or even seen one? Yet, pollsters have acquired huge and growing power...
