...legal grounds, the President said it had never occurred to him that anyone could think a question of academic freedom was involved. It is difficult to see what else anyone could have thought. More recently, in the timing of the room-rent raise and the decision to require Paul Tillich to give exams in two of his courses, Mr. Pusey has again shown himself unable to estimate the probable reactions to his decisions...
