But Heaven is not on earth, nor is Wesleyan Plato's Republic, and the dialogue between student and teacher is on occasion unpleasantly'disrupted. One such occasion presented itself last Spring when Professors Baritz and Brown were removed from the History Department. This incident was most disturbing not simply because of the loss to the university of two outstanding faculty members, but was made especially unfortunate by the apparent fact that the History Departments action with respect to Professors Baritz and Brown was not based wholely on impersonal considerations. As even other members of the department admitted, the behind-the-scenes story was not a pleasant one, and had personal overtones of dispute and jealousy. tThe word vendetta , however inappropriately, keeps coming to mindj When the faculty cannot live with its differences and moreover grow by them, it discredits itself, and loses esteem in the eyes of the student. But even more important than internal considerations, the departments decision to ignore the student response toward the failure to give tenure to Professor Batitz was extremely unfortunate. On a campus Where apathy is said to abound in all forms, the overwhelming disbelief and anger which met the History Department decision was a positive sign, and spoke well for the concern Which the student has for his own education and for the strength of Wesleyan. It is true and even fortunate that the students do not beat the responsibility for policy decisions at Wesleyan as is often the case in some foreign universities. Nevertheless, the outright disregard for student opinion and interests which the History Department displayed in favor of less rational considerations can hardly add favorably to the quality of student experience at Wesleyan. As the May 1961, Wexleymz Alumnm so correctly said, The faculty has as its primary responsibility the safeguarding of the character and quality of a Wesleyan education. It is indeed questionable whether the history faculty safeguarded the character and the quality of a Wesleyan education in acting as it did for the reasons it did in removing Professors Baritz and Brown from its ranks. To the students, those for Whom the Wesleyan education is ultimately most important, there was no question that the quality of that education had been severely weakened. 28
