Education / Pedagogy
English term or phrase: ivy-covered professors
It was at a 1946 meeting of the Society of Experimental Psychologists. [I am a nonattending member of this elite fraternity—now a sorority as well—of ivy-covered professors.] Edwin Boring, Herbert Langfeld, and Samuel Fernberger, the chairmen of Harvard, Princeton, and Penn, respectively, met at lunch and agreed that psychology should be more like physics and chemistry—doing basic research only—and that they would hire no applied psychologists. All the rest
of academia immediately fell into line.”

Grata desde já.

Professores cobertos de louros


Explanation:
O Ivy é evidentemente uma referência à Ivy League, mas creio que "louros" mantém a metáfora do texto original.
