"In excited debates moderate voices carried very little persuasion. A learned university faculty, when aroused, can be no less impatient and unwise than any other large, directly representative assembly ... Unless a faculty eschews militancy, exhibits prudence and practices restraint the very concept of a university can be put in jeopardy."

Of Derek C. Bok-announced last week as Pusey's successor and currently dean of the Law School-Pusey said, "I could not be happier for myself or for the University in the choice they and you have made."
