Excerpt:
But let us keep in mind the point of this article. President J. Oliver Buswell Jr. had founded the Department of Anthropology at Wheaton way back in 1937 when Anthropology was the "principal science concerned with race," and this Wheaton College Statement on Race Relations produced by Wheaton's Department of Sociology and Anthropology was the fruit of President Buswell's opposition to racism.
Who has the temerity to deny this?
President Buswell was no fundamentalist, hick, or country bumpkin. He knew precisely what he was doing when he hired Alexander Grigolia, the Sorbonist, to profess Anthropology part time. He knew precisely what he was doing when he brought Grigolia on full time. He knew precisely what he was doing when he tasked Grigolia with founding Wheaton's Department of Anthropology way back in 1937 when, as Wheaton College today brags, "Wheaton's Anthropology program was one of the first of its kind among national liberal arts colleges."
