Outstanding post! I loved both those links. Even the comments taught me things I didn't know, like this one from readthehook:
"Do not forget the most famous professor run out of UVA: William Barton Rogers, who left Charlottesville, dismayed by the intellectual climate at UVA, to found a little school called the Massachusetts Institute of Technology."
So the purge of conservatives started earlier than I thought, and in such a traditional state as Virginia too, which rather takes the whole story into the bizarre.
Thanks for this edifying and thoroughly enjoyable read.
