...vexed President Holt and other Floridans by behaving much as satiric, cacographic Dean Swift, on whose writings he is an authority, might have behaved at Rollins. Professor Rice attacked Rollins' debating and athletic systems, its fraternities and sororities, its chapel services, women teachers, in ''frequently vehement, sometimes intemperate, and in several instances discourteous language." Nonetheless he was agreed the A. A. U. P., "an unusually stimulating and effective teacher...
