PRESIDENT HYDES ATTACK.
ASsAILs ''RoCKEFELLERIsM'' IN THE MAX
ING OF EDUCATIONAL GIFTS.


Boston, June 5-President William De Witt Hyde
of Bowdoin made an address at Boston University
to-day that is likely to attract much attention in
collegiate circles. His subject Academic Free
DOM" He first referred to the troubles that have
arisen at Chicago University, Leland Stanford and
other institutions, and said these troubles had
arisen with the increasing public interest in social
and economic questions. Then he sounded a note
of warning against the spread of what he termed
Rockefellerism in the American college of to-day.
He denounced in scathing the dictatoria
gance of donors.
Relative to the donor and his donation. the
speaker said:
He may give he may not give. but when he
has given bis money it should be as completely be-
yond the individual control as is a thrown stone
after it has left hand. A donor has no more
teach than stockhoder of a steamship company
the ship 70 which a thousand lives have been in
trusted. Wherever founders donors or charters
have exceeded these limits evil has resulted.
He continued:
1t is the duty of the State to protect the public
AGAINST misdtrecuon of funds and the cheapening
cation of Christian Science theosophy palTnistry
astrology or alchemy would have claim TO ex-
emptlon from taxation the cOnfeTring OF de-
