that local conditions would better
preserve true temperance here in
Wayne county by license system
than by prohibition, and his opinions
on that subject ought to be just as
much respected as those which diff
fered from his. Indeed it was q man.
ly thing of him to stand out in the
face of all his surroundings and advo-
cate his own convictions in spite of
the opinions of those closest to him. -

lege will not violate the traditions
of academic liberty which are essen

Should It do SO it would at once de-
grade itself from a position as an in
stitution of higher education to one
subject to the whims and currents of
temporary passions and transitory so
cial movements. It would no longer
be worthy Of the confidence OF the
community"
But the worst effect would be up
on Quakerism itself. How could any
one hereafter believe in society bas-
ed upon the right of individual con-
viction, who would thus deny that
conviction and prosecute the man who
had exercised 1t for himself? After
such spectacle how could anyone
have faith in an organization which
had thus violated its own fundamen-
tai princip1es?"
