McGary Denies Charge of Favoritism Toward Catholic Colleges
Education Commissioner Carroll R. McGary rejected accusations from Frederick W. Whittaker of Bangor Theological Seminary that he discriminates against Protestants to favor Catholic colleges in southern Maine. Whittaker cited a $10,000 grant denial while similar awards went to St. Francis College Biddeford and St. Joseph's College Windham. McGary called the cases separate and said the seminary grant was escrowed due to eligibility questions under the separation of state and church.
