“From what we can see … it does appear that Mr. Ginger was asked to resign from his term appointment as Assistant Professor of Business Administration in 1954 because he declined to answer a question regarding whether he was at the time a member of the Communist Party,” Gagnon wrote.
Two days later, after Ginger’s resignation, he and his wife left Boston for New York to stay with relatives, where Mrs. Ginger gave birth a month later as a charity patient.
