The trustees of Pennsylvania Uni

the removal of Assistant Professor
Nearing, of tile Wharton School of
Finance. This has ben GOne because
he preached doctrines of political
economy not III harmony with the be-
liefs of those who control the inStitu-
ton. The professor had been warned
some time ago that he would get into
trouble with his writings, but he chose
to go on. No wit is charged that the

supporters of the regime of bosses
who have attempted more or less sue
