Who Governed Yale? Kingman Brewster And Higher Education In The 1970s, Nathaniel Zelinsky May 2013

Who Governed Yale? Kingman Brewster And Higher Education In The 1970s, Nathaniel Zelinsky

I show how each of these committees was a carefully calibrated political tool that allowed Brewster to moderate …
