Fa cry now and again we read, either in dailies, college pub lications or The New’ Student, the last-named being our tank of mental oil, (Loyola Mews please note) about certain professors or instiuctors being foiccd to lea\e ceitain institutions because of their ha\ Dig abused the pm degc of fi ee speech as set down in the Fust Amendment to the Constitution, oi because of their ill dclnicd hberahstic tendencies, or because of their “having poison ed the minds of our younger generation” or foi some other lca son equally as questionable Fiom the Hookwoim Celt, time af ter time, we get notice that someone, in an unguarded moment, nunmuicd the woid “evolution” and foithwith was placed in the hoosegow tor violating some kind of law. What we want to know is—what’s it all about, anyhow ? From time immemorial, men have been jaded for hi caking i ules. Whether or not they see lit to agree with laws, they must, pei foice. adlieie to them And, since ignorance excuses no one. they must put their noses to the gnndstone and get to woik, they must 10m the big paiade on their own initiative or else they wdl be pushed into line. The bone of contention (of couise there must be such a thing) comes, we think, in interpretation of the law—its interpretation cither by the mentally-fienzied mob oi by the calm, thinking junst “Paul Blanshard, fiee speech crusader, was announced as a speaker at Washburn College. Topeka, Kansas. Business men ol the’city were enraged. Attacks were published in a Topeka ncuspapei. There was much agitation against the proposed ad dress. . . . The president, the faculty, and over ninety percent of the student body backed up the meeting. Said President Wo men*, ‘As long as this college exists, it will stand for freedom of speech’ Great applause and cheering.”—From the New Stu dent. But two professors at Denver Unversrty were foiccd to ic sign because of having expiessed, in the classioom, certain opin ions on philosophy or some other abstract subject, which diffei od with those held by the authorities. What else could we ex pect of Denver; Denver Univeisity which has not allowed social dancing ior a mattei of a half-century 7 If Denver vveie to be placed in the Menckeman category of belts, it would be classified, most likely, as in the Devil-chasing Belt oi the Eye Bandage Belt or some bolt of mental inertia. Fiom the way we size things up, about the only free thing in Colorado is the air which is biealhed —and most likely that has a sort of tax on it A visitor thci e pajs for it. at any rate. What’s it all about, anyhow? Is one to be allowed to use the privilege of free speech without feai of having some lame biuined Bettv proclaim to the vauous Belts that the tree speak oi did not adhere strictly to the lettei of the law as interpreted by the calf-eared nitwit? Who cares what anyone else says about religion, immorality, philosophy, psychology, astronomy or button-hooks as long as it doesn’t stop traffic in New York? Who caies whether oi not gills with big feet should be dentists 7 Why all this brainless consul e of the thoughts of individuals who think moie deeply and over a greater area than the average, thioc-squaies-a-day, mov ics-at-night, evolution-damning nincom poop? What this long-winded dissertation leally has for its aim is this* why should colleges or anyone, for that matter, administer supposed justice upon a man who, although he adheres strictly to the letter ol the law, sees fit io express an opinion opposite that hold by. those higher up? At least fifty percent of the speaker’s audience will bo the ordinary class of non-believers which scoffs at everything, Iwcnty-hve percent which can be con vinced ot nothing, twenty-four peieent which probably already had the same thought as that expressed by the eminent orator and one peieent which believes everything and which is usually absent anyway. Why is there someone who always tries to be a dietician of Ihc mind and tells us what to cat? Do not the most prominent and learned physicians hold that our appetite dictates gastro nomic delights?
