Evidence

The leading fi gures on both shores remained reluctant to endanger their scientifi c authority by wading into venues of pop u lar debate, and instead sought to leverage their infl uence primarily among their colleagues in the profession. They also shared no institution in which they could discuss their ideas, develop new rhetorical strategies, establish networks of communication, or assist younger colleagues who were sympathetic to their views. — Angus Burgin, The Great Persuasion, 47
