High would have most support for a positive view of Aborigines,
Taperoo least positive support, and that S.A.I.T. students would
show positive support, with Stone's students, again, showing
ambivalence.

The responses were thus expected to be distributed in the

following way:

For the following table, the institution showing most support

in each case is starred.
