"Professors, the people most visibly responsible for the creation of new ideas, have, over the last century, become all too consummate professionals, initiates in a system committed to its own protection and perpetuation."
It sounds like your bottom line, then, is that the review on Slate is wrong here. I.e., you are saying that there was no "becoming" that was spread out over all of last century, but rather that the change happened all at once and was engineered in to the system from the beginning?
