Deceptions on Campus

The reason for this was to not scare the new ones away. Since many people have criticized Lee in the past, they said, it would be good to not yet mention him or his teachings so much and make people suspicious or uncomfortable.

Deceptive and far from transparency. Goes back to my earlier comment, if one truly believes "The Recovery" is God's Move on the Earth, why would not want to be anything but transparent?
Your quote ACuriousFellow applies as much to Memorial meetings as much as college age gatherings. It's been over 8 years since my uncle passed away, but I distinctly remember different brothers desperately trying not to utter the words "Brother Lee" at my uncle's memorial meeting. I knew they wanted to but refrained. I'm sure in part due to non-LC visitors being in attendance.
