COMMUNIST INFILTRATION IN THE FACULTY
The question was raised of whether or not the Board should formulate a general policy to guide
the administration to prevent the infiltration of subversive elements among the faculty. After considerable
discussion it was deemed unwise to impose upon the faculty a loyalty oath similar to that
which has caused such disturbance at the University of California. The President pointed out that he
exercised every caution in investigating prospective faculty members and that no member was added to the
faculty without first coming to the University for a personal interview with the President and the Deans
and department heads.
