Over the course of December 1928 and January 1929, Brookwood clarified its policy of nonexclusion, while at the same time stating its refusal to become a Communist-controlled institution. Ironically, the college would find itself unable to maintain this policy. Even though the Communist Party prohibited members from attending Brookwood, a handful of them were accepted as students over the course of the next several years. Muste and other Brookwood faculty soon discovered that these students were not attending the college in good faith, but were rather bent upon ‘‘disrupting and destroying the school.’’ As they explained, these students ‘‘openly expressed hostility’’ toward Brookwood, left in the middle of the term under party orders, flaunted school discipline, and worked with the party to deprive Brookwood of financial contributions. Moreover, Communists who had graduated from the college ‘‘openly repudiated Brookwood and attempted to work against it.’’ Asserting that ‘‘no school is under any obligation’’ to accept students committed to its destruction, Brookwood banned Communists from attendance so long as the party’s policy was one of attacking elements it considered reformist, though it continued to invite Communist speakers to lecture at the college.69
