Denies Facts Stated in
Trustees Letter--Barke
for Free Speech
SAYS HE WILL
CONTINUE FIGHT

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. Scott
Nearing. deposed assistant professor of
economies in the Wharton School of the
University OF Pennsylvania, is in the
field with his first statement since the
Board OF trustees ousted him last June.
Wharton Barker one OF the trustees
who came to hearings defence at the
time of the latter's dismissal. has sent
an open letter TO George Wharton Pep
per, another trustee. in which he sug-
gcsts tho adoption OF resolution favor
ing free speech.
The statement Of DR.. Nearing is in
answer TO a letter given out Saturday y
by DR.. J. William White, one OF the
trustees, who was absent in Europe dur
ing the action of the trustees. and who
Nearing had believed, was one of his
strongest supporters. In the statement
Nearing denies that he had advocated
the ruthless redistribution of prop.
erty" lie saws he did not state a be.
lief i'll "the personal iniquity Of thos,
who live on incomes derived even from
their own savings" or urge "the alter
native of work or starvation should b,
presented even to the old, the feeble ant
the diseased
He also declared that the trustees
had not offered to continue his sal
airy and that he had had no chance
to refuse such an offer. He also ex-
planned how the use of the title,
professor" was accidental in sew
eral published articles under his
name, and finally explained that bis
address upon political control Of the
school had been made in July, 1915,
after his dismissal.
Mr. Barker, in his open letter to Mr..
Pepper, said he advocated he adop-
ton by the Board Of Trustees of a
resolution similar to the views OF
Thomas II. Huxley, who said: uni
versities should be places in which
thought is free from all fetters and
in which all sources Of knowledge
and all aids to learning should be
accessible TO all comers without dis
tinction of creed or country, riches
or poverty.
The letter also takes up the defence
Of Nearing and charges that Nearing s
dismissal was due to attacks of his
enemies based upon assumptions and
not facts.
