Where suspicion fills the air and holds scholars in line for fear of their jobs, there can be no exercise of the free intellect. Supineness and dogmatism take the place of inquiry. A problem can no longer be pursued to its edges. Fear stalks the classroom.

Instruction tends to become sterile; pursuit of knowledge is discouraged; discussion often leaves off where it should begin.
