PITTSBURGH CHICAGO SAN FRANCISCO LOS ANGELES
of
ber of summers the Tuller Foundation
conducted summer schools for college
students. Tuller is also a regular visitor
to the campus, where he counsels and
otherwise assists the Cornell Conservative
Club. His staff man, Robert Smith,
a recent Stanford graduate, lived in
Ithaca two months last year to gather
information for CACBE'S work.
Tuller's most ambitious venture to
date is his proposal that the university
establish a "Center for the Study of the
Free Society," a proposal broadcast as
"an open letter" in advertisements in the
Sun, Ithaca Journal, and CORNELL
ALUMNI NEWS [current issue]. These ads
contain the first public listing of thirtyseven
alumni who are CACBE members.
The group includes many who have
been active in university and alumni
affairs, and are continuing to be, among
them fifteen who are listed as Tower
Club members for 1965-66, which means
they contributed at least $1,000 to Cornell
during the year. All five CACBE
Executive Committee members were
Tower Club members last year.
Before it was published this term as
an advertisement, the CACBE open letter
was first sent to President Perkins and
other university leaders. Tuller has since
distributed an exchange of letters with
President Perkins that ensued. Tuller's
letter No. 503 to alumni reproduced
Perkins's first response to the open letter.
He asked a number of questions of
Tuller.
In letters No. 502, 505, and 509 Tuller
answered Perkins, between December
20, 1966, and February 1 of this year.
Perkins wrote to Tuller again February
10, a letter that Tuller mailed out to
alumni as his letter No. 510. This letter
contains the President's main response
to the original open letter.
In his letter No. 509, Tuller had written:
Our proposal for a separate school at
Cornell is based on two postulates which
we offer as facts:
(1) that college students in the Humane
Studies do not, under present conditions,
have the opportunity readily available to
them to become aware of and acquainted
with that philosophy which would give them
a basis for appraising present day problems
in another light than that provided by
their Liberal professors. The problem arises
because the students receive practically no
exposure to the modern social thinkers in the
classical liberal-individualist tradition. . . .
In his response, Perkins wrote:
This is just a note to say that I have your
letter of February 1. I will, of course, give
your idea most serious consideration but
am afraid we are going to have a very
difficult time coming to an agreement,
