Quote for the Day:

Nobody save a few purists and antiquarians worried much about the economization of the university. But when, beginning in 1964, the campuses showed signs of becoming politicized (meaning, of course, not the familiar exploitation of the university by government and semi-public bodies, but the growing awareness of and responsiveness to political issues by groups on campuses), then cries of pain and alarm were heard from all quarters. Politicization, it was claimed, would surely corrupt the university and reduce its social utility. What began as alarm had by 1970 grown into something very close to systematic policies of repression of political activity on campus.
