Dear Mr. Peal:

Your response of December 22nd awaited my return
from vacation; Mrs. Griggs is having a difficult time of it,
and I fear it will be many, many months before she is able
to adjust to the loss. She has moved; her address at the
moment is c/O Claremont Hotel, 1044 Tiverton Avenue, Los
Angeles, California 90024.

She is a very fine person, and we will do our very
best to help her.

Very truly yours,

Dear Mr. Peal:

With the greatest sorrow I must report the passing
of Dr. Griggs, on November 26, 1975, at Los Angeles, as the
result of a traffic accident. As you can well imagine, Mrs.
Griggs is presently quite unable to write concerning the
matter, and she asked that we write to you on her behalf.

As you have perhaps surmised, Mrs. Griggs has con—
sulted this office in matters connected with her late husband,
and we have undertaken to represent her. Let me assure you
that we will do our very best for this very fine lady, and
should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact
us directly.

You will doubtless hear from Mrs. Griggs before long,
when she has had an opportunity to compose herself. She is
sure you realize that this is not intended to be impersonal,
and she asked that I send you her deepest affection.

Very truly yours,
\WH

hr, W, Hugh Peal,

”Woodburn"
Leesburg, Virginia 22075.

Dear Mr. Peal:

Thank you for your letter. We,too,
are feeding birds but not on the scale you
are doing in Virginia, and we don't have
to wade through snow drifts. This year the
humming birds have stayed all Winter.

I note that you are going to
New York City on 19 January; and I em
wondering whether I might ask a favor of
you. Robert Dowdy, the son of my dearest friend
here, is a young lawyer of great promise.
I think it uuld be a good idea for him to talk
to an older lawyer and perhaps seek his advice.
At the moment he is in the legal u,partment of
American Air Lines and is enjoying his work
imnensely.

I would like very much for you to meet
young Dowdy While you are in New York. His
home address is -

Mr. Robert Dowdy,
1200 Warburton Avenue, No. 40,
Yonkers, New York, 10701

I hope that it will not be an imposition on you
to talk to young Dowdy while you are in New York.
I am sure that he can arrange to see you at your
convenience,

I envy you your stay in New York, and I
hope the weather will not be quite so difficult
as it was a short time ago.I think I told you that
our family home was in Westchester County, on the
River at Crotonnon-Hudson.

With best wishes to you and Mrs. Peal

Yours sincerely,/w

Newsweek—M lchcl le Vlgncs

‘It is better to rely on persuasion than the hilly cluh’

relations with the governor, whoever he
is. So beginning with Governor Reagan's
election last November, the situation
changed quite drastically.

There was a strong suggestion from a
close supporter of Governor Reagan that
I resign prior to Jan. 1. And the gover-
nor privately met with some of the re-
gents the week before the action was
taken. A committee of the regents and I
had met on Jan. 12 with the governor to
discuss the budget. After the meeting
was over we broke up, and then some of
the regents were invited back by the
governor and I was told that I was not
to be one of them. I wasn’t given any
reason. I was just told that the regents
were invited and i wasn’t. Well, I am a
regent, too, or I was a regent, I should
say. At that point, it looked like the
handwriting was on the wall.

Q. A week later the full board of re-
gents met in Berkeley. Governor Reagan
says you precipitated your dismissal by
asking for a vote of confidence.

A. This is absolutely false. I have
never in fourteen and a half years as
chancellor of Berkeley asked for a vote
of confidence and I did not last Friday,
the 20th. The statement by the chair-
man of the board of regents (Theodore

Clark Kerr Tells His Story

The 87,000 students and 7,500 faculty
members on the nine—campus University
of California seemed united as they
never had been before last week by
the sudden dismissal of president Clark.
Kerr. “On every campus," said Berkeley
student-senate president Dan McIntosh,
“there is rage, frustration, dissatisfaction
and resentment.” While students and
faculty vehemently protested the firing,

E. Meyer) at the end of the meeting on
Friday was correct—that certain regents
wished to have the matter discussed.

Q. What other factors were involved?

A. Well, politics were certainly in—
volved. Basically the dismissal related to
contrary views on the nature of the uni-
versity. There are, perhaps, two major
points of View. The point of view that I
represented has been that the Univer-
sity of California should be one of the
greatest universities of the world, and
that means that there has to be full aca-

‘ .~. ,. .y .. ,.- 1

Some of this student behavior was exag-
gerated, as was some of the reaction.

Also, i became to many people a sym-
bol of tolerance for expression of opin-
ions that they didn’t like. If the stu—
dents w0re sandals and beards then it
must have been because of the presi-
dent of the university; or if students
didn’t like the war in Vietnam, then it
must have been because of the presi-

and the nine UC Chancellors pledged to
continue his fight for no tuition and a
full budget, Kerr himself retired to his
El Cerrito hilltop home. Though he ac—
cepted an offer from the Carnegie Cor-
poration to head a study on the future
of American higher education, his own
plans remained unsettled. Before leav-
ing for a mountain vacation last week—
end, he answered questions about his
dismissal and the university’s prospects
put to him by NE\VS\VEEK San Francisco
bureau chief William Flynn and. ED-
UCATKON editor j’oseph M. Russin.

Q. Do you think the protests at Berke-
ley led to your dismissal?

A. I would say that was half of the
story. The other half is that the left-
wing radicals at Berkeley triggered an
intense reaction among the right-wing
radicals in California. The significance of

the left-wing radicals was not that they,

had any power in and of themselves, but
that they could energize the radical

right which has power in California.

Berkeley came to be a symbol to a lot of
people of all the things they didn’t like.

64

dent of the university; or if the students
didn’t like racial discrimination, then it
must have been because of the presi-
dent of the university. This quite 0b-
viously was a simplistic view.

I don’t want to suggest that I am en-
tirely without influence. But I know per—
fectly well that there would have been
beards and sandals and opposition to the
war in Vietnam and opposition to racial
discrimination whether i ever became
president of the University of California
or not. These things existed on many
university campuses across the country.
You know, Berkeley isn’t all that differ-
ent. But it became a symbol, and there
was this personalizing of the situation.

Q. How large was Governor Reagan’s
role in the decision to fire you on ]an. 20?

A. Very substantial. The governor,
lieutenant governor, and the head of
the state Agricultural Board who is ap-
pointed by the governor are ex—ochio
regents, so when Governor Reagan took
omce he brought with him three new
Votes and influence over several other
votes. Also, any board of regents quite
obviously needs to be concerned with its

demic freedom, freedom of speech and
freedom of assembly.

The other view is one that has been
around in the university for quite a long
time—that the university is supposed to
serve agriculture and industry and the
dominant political authorities of the
state. [Those holding this view have] al-
ways felt the university ought to be con—
cerned with practical problems and not
with a search for truth. This gets tied in
with wanting a safe and simple institu—
tion that isn’t going to cause anybody
any trouble.

Also involved in the dismissal was just
the sheer burden of history: when you
have been involved in as many tong}:
decisions for as many years as I have,
there are some where people haven’t
always agreed. Finally, there were ele-
ments of an internal power play. For a
very long time there has been a small
group of regents who have felt that the
president should be strictly the servant
of the dominant regents and that the
regents, in quite a personal way, should
run the university. My view was that

.

the president reported to the regents
but also served the faculty and the stu-
dents and that he could not just be the
instrument of a few powerful regents.

Historically, the University of Califor—
nia had been run on an almost day-to-
day basis by the regents. It wasn't until
the early 18905, for example, that the
president was literally allowed to hire a
janitor. The regents did this. During the
period that I was president, the regents
became a policy board rather than a
managerial board. This meant more au-
thority, particularly for the Chancellors
of the nine campuses of the university,
but also to some extent for the presi-
dent. There were regents who very
much opposed this development.

I think there is a tendency now with-
in the board of regents to try once again
to make more detailed decisions. Just
how much freedom they might give my
successor depends a bit on him and his
policies. If the regents agree with his
policies, they will obviously give him
more freedom than if they don’t. But
any president of the University of Cali-
fornia can only be successful in the long
run—and by successful I don’t mean
surviving but getting something done—if
he makes up his own mind. If he tries to
cater to the changing whims of individ-
ual regents, he will just never get any-
place. He may survive quite a long while
but he will never get anything done. I
always felt as chancellor and president
that I was willing to be expendable
month by month rather than compro-
mise my integrity. I quite obviously was
expended. ‘

Q. Do the regents have too much
power?

A. No, I don’t think it is a question of
their having too much power. I think it
is a question of wisdom. One of their
purposes is to serve as a protection for
the university in a time of troubles. If a

board of regents uses its power not to .

protect the university, but to represent
antagonistic forces in the surrounding
community, it then becomes a question
of its wisdom in the use of power, not a
question of its right to have the power.

Q. Some critics say you weren’t “tough
enough” on student protesters.

A. The University of California and
the State of California were tougher in
connection with the difficulties of the
last two years than any university in the
United States to my knowledge.

Last year, for example, the Univer—
sity of Wisconsin had a long sit-in, in-
volving eight days and about a thousand
students. Yet no one went to jail and no
one was penalized on campus. At Berke-
ley students were jailed and penalized.

I don’t mean to condone violation of
the law because I don’t, but generally I
feel that in the long run, reliance on per-
suasion within the academic community
is better than reliance on police force. I

February 6, 1967

was against the use of police during the
first Berkeley sit-ins in October 1964. I
favored discussion instead. I also op-
posed the use of police at the time they
were used in the Sproul Hall sit-in in
December 1964, although I might very
well have favored their use if the stu-
dents hadn’t voluntarily withdrawn by
the next morning from the building after
a greater effort had been made to per-
suade them to do so.

In an academic community it is so
much better to rely on persuasion than
the billy club. Persuasion takes time. The
billy club doesn’t.

Q. Do you think the regents will
“crack down” on Berkeley?

A. I [think] . . there is a very real
possibility the regents may seek to influ-
ence decisions involving the faculty and
the students to a greater degree than
they have in recent years.

Q. How much power or influence do
you think students should have?

A. Students could be given a great
deal of authority, even final authority, in
many judicial matters. But when it
comes to legislation of basic rules, such
as the use of university property, the

students are not very experienced. Re—

sponsibility for making the very basic
rules has to lie with the administration or
with the regents after consultation with
the faculty and the students.

Q. The faculty seems worried about
losing its power and some professors are
advocating a union. Do you approve?

A. It is a coming trend across the
United States and I regret it. It is much
better to operate with an academic sen-
ate which shares responsibility for ad—
ministration than to set up a conflict be-
tween the faculty and the administration,
or the faculty versus the regents, or ver-
sus both. A university is, in part, a com-
pany of scholars. In one way, these
scholars are the university. It is much
better for them to be associated in the
decision—making process through our ac-
ademic senate than to have them stand
outside as a union.

At the same time, I can understand
why they feel that their senate mecha-
nisms are not adequate. There was no
consultation with the faculty during
what obviously was one of the more im-
portant decisions by the regents in re—
cent years [Kerr’s dismissal].

As a matter of fact, the all—university
academic council of the academic senate
had given the chairman of the board of
regents a statement that the chairmen of
all nine divisions of the academic senate,
on all nine campuses, reported that I
had the overwhelming support of the
faculty on every campus. Either this was
not reported by the chairman of the
board or it was ignored. And so, for the
first time in history, the faculty of the
university is wondering whether the
senate mechanism is adequate.

I guess that the very last thing I did
on that Friday afternoon related to this
question. First I was asked to leave the
meeting, then called back and told that
I had been dismissed effective immedi-
ately. But I asked the regents whether
I couldn’t finish up the agenda because
there were some items on it that nobody
else was prepared to present. So I did
finish up the agenda and made my rec-
ommendations and they were accepted.

My very last recommendation to the
regents was that in selecting a new pres-
ident they should start by working
with a committee of the faculty. I am
happy to see they have done this.

Q. The size of multiversity campuses
seems to be one cause of student unrest.

A. We are inevitably going to have
big campuses in America and in some
ways this is desirable. But it’s also terri-
bly important to break them up inter-
nally into smaller structures. You need to
maximize the good things that go along
with size, like a big library and research
laboratories, but you must minimize the
disadvantages, which are anonymity and
lack of responsibility. At Berkeley we
have maximized the advantages, but we
haven’t minimized the disadvantages.

I think the structure at Berkeley
needs to be changed. A college as large
as Letters and Science, with 17,000 stu-
dents, cannot be effective. We need to
develop at Berkeley—and I say “we”
since I am still a member of the faculty
—we need to develop smaller entities,
where faculty and students can be asso-
ciated together more directly. This could
be done on a strictly residential basis,
by having students from different disci-
plines living in the same small college,
as they are doing at the new campus at
Santa Cruz. It could also be done, as
happened at Berkeley some time ago
with the department of chemistry, by
breaking off the department and making
it into a college with the control a col-
lege would have over its own curricu-
lum. When we organized our new cam-
puses, we had this very much in mind.
There is no College of Letters and Sci-
ence at Santa Cruz, San Diego or Irvine.

Q. What advice can you offer a uni-
versity official faced with student sit-ins?

A. The first advice is to have good
rules. While we had changed our rules
a great deal by the fall of 1964, there
was one area where we had fallen be—
hind other institutions and behind US.

Supreme Court decisions, and that was

in not allowing students to collect money
on campus and solicit support for picket
lines. We did have the 26 feet of “Hyde
Park” sidewalk on Bancroft Avenue,
which was a safety valve for student ac-
tivity. But the then chancellor removed
that safety valve Without discussion with
students, faculty or regents.

The second recommendation is to
maintain channels of communication.

Dear Mr. Griggs:

Thanks very much for your letter of February 3, 1967.

As to your friend Lieutenant Dowdy, I suggest that we have
him and his wife spend a day with us at Woodburn as soon as
garden week is over. Prior to and during garden week the place
is overrun with preparations and visitors, but the best month
to see our country is May anyway. We are only one hour from
their residence and if they do not have a car I can fetch
and redeliver them.

The whole Kerr~Reagan epiSode is most distressing. I did
not see the News Week article, but the New York Times gave
much coverage to the incidents and the various statements. I
did see Mr. Oswald a few days after it all happened, bUt there
were others present so we passed it off with a few joking re-
marks. The problem is, I think, that Governor Reagan and his
group are stuck with a great many unrealistic dogmas. If the
Governor is intelligent enough, he may learn as he goes along,
but he will have a hard time controlling his following. I
once had an older partner, now deceased, who would say to me
that I could get some brilliant deductions on the premise that
the chandelier was a humming bird. Governor Reagan seems to
have many such premises.

I am looking forward to the new Coleridge volumes.
Best regards.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Peal and I leave this week for a month in Europe.

Please accept my regrets and promises to do better nzxt

Dear Mr. Peal:

A young friend of mine, Robert Dowdy, has
completed his first year in law at Berkeley and is spending
the summer in Washington in one of the federal agencies.

He is the son of my dearest friend, Dr. Andrew Dowdy, chairman
of Radiology at the U.C.L.A. Medical Schocl in Los Angeles.

Now it has occurred to me that perhaps you and George Spater,
who remembers me after 35 years, might like to meet young

Dowdy. It would be an event for him. He is an admirable young
man. He is well read in English Literature and is an excellent
student. I have known him since his high school days. My only
comment is that if I had had a son, I could wish for no better
lad than Robert Dowdy! Anything you and George Spater might plan
for him, I should consider as a personal favor.

Robert's father has had a major heart attack but
is recovering. You know, it is disconcerting when one‘s closest
friends are struck down by a major illness. I called Mrs. Dowdy
tonight and fortunately Dr. Dowdy is on the road to complete
recovery.

I am glad to tell you that proof on Volumes 5 and
6 of the Coleridge Letters will arrive shortly. Unfortunately
for me Volumes 1 and 2 are sold out, and the Clarendon Press
waants me to make any corrections ~ and promptly!

I should like to thank you for helping with the
sale of the two Coleridge letters from the Langlais Collection.
Madame Langlais was delighted and wrote a most charming letter
to me. She is married to a French-Canadian and has four lovely

children.
Yours Cordially, <;;Q _

Mr. Frederick E. Adams, Jr,
The Pierpont Morgan Library

New York, N. Y.

Dear Mr. Adams:

L J .«fisf u, from our mutual friend, Earl Leslie
Griggs, and one ose gaiewit , two further flannel Taylor Coleridge
autographs from the Langlais collection, together with a capy
of a descriptive memorandum by Mr. Griggs. Apparently Madame
Langlais did not turn up these items when the large collection
was sold to The Pierpont Morgan Library, She feels that they
should be added to the collection you now have. Mr. Griggs
tentatively suggests a price of $500. If you purchase the let-
ters, the check should go to fiedame Pierre Langlais, 1320 Ave,
Patenaude, Sillery, Quebec, Canada.

The prices of autographs have been fluctuating so
much that neither Mr. Griggs nor I are very certain as to
values.. rom.my own limited experience, however, consisting
largely in unsuccessful bids, I take it that the $500 price
is about right. My guess is that the items might bring a little
more in a good hot sale at Sotheby‘s, but the net proceeds
