The boundaries of institutional personality could be expanded to embrace the idiosyn- cratic personalities of the experimental col- leges and to allow those personalities to pervade the parent institution; the bound- aries could be expanded just enough to ex- tend hospitality to the colleges as enclaves of the larger structure; they could be mod- estly contracted so as to coerce the colleges to conform to those academic traditions that were transcended at the trial creation of the colleges; or the boundaries could be severely contracted to induce such radical incongruence between the institutional per- sonality founded on hard-core academic val- ues and the more daring personality of the collegiate system as to result in the exter- mination of innovation.	cache/crl-13661.pdf	txt/crl-13661.txt
