Education: Costs in California

A faculty group at the University of California last week gave its own tabulation of the cost of last year’s loyalty-oath uproar (TIME, June 27, 1949 et seq.): no scholars. Twenty-six had been fired, 37 had resigned, 47 from other schools had declined invitations to teach or lecture. Among the 47: Harvard’s Howard Mumford Jones, Minnesota’s Robert Penn (All the King’s Men) Warren, Chicago’s Philosopher Rudolf Carnap.
