Those who would organize across or within academic tiers must not be deterred by the legal challenges. In addition, we must resist the urge to address problems individually by always working toward that next job; acknowledge our common cause; recognize that our talents in listening, learning, teaching, and persuading already prepare us to be organizers; reassert faculty governance through active organizing; and thereby model professional responsibility for peers and the students who would become our peers.

Here, for the first time in more than eighty years, is a detailed study of political Antimasonry on the national, state, and local levels, based on a survey of existing sources.

Condemnation of Sch segregation by Senator Charles Sumner of Mass as early as 1850 & 1867 is discussed. The first civilrights act was passed on Apr 9, 1866. It did not include a clause on mixed Sch's, but several Congressmen raised questions concerning this problem & expressed fears of the bill being used to integrate public Sch's. Sumner unsuccessfully attempted to get the Senate to consider an extended bill including a Sch clause, which was passed by the Senate, but not by Congress, on May 22, 1874. Passage was generally condemned by the Southern press. The pol'al details surrounding the discussion & passage of the bill are described & analyzed. After considerable debate & controversy, Congress passed the bill, after the Sch clause was removed, on Feb 4, 1875. It became a law on Mar 1, 1875. Most of the leading Southern newspapers seemed relieved that the Sch proviso was omitted from the bill. Many looked upon the new law as a conglomeration of empty legal phrases which would never be enforced. Insistence by the federal gov upon integrated Sch's was not to come until 79 yrs later, with the Supreme Court decision in 1954. The course of time & a Supreme Court decision of 1883 made the 1975 law a dead letter. M. Maxfield.
