The exhaustive report Of the Committee on
Academic Freedom and Academic Tenure. which
has gone into its subject with care and thor
oughness for the American Association Of Uni
versity Professors sets up a strong case against
the control Of professional teaching and utter
ance by the lay trustees or financial sponsors Of
our colleges and universities. The committee,
however, makes II plain that academic freedom
does not mean academic license, nor that indi-
vidual teachers should be free from all restraint
as to their speech and conduct either within or
without the university. There may, undoubt-
eddy, arise occasional cases." IT says. lin which
the alterations OF individuals may require to be
checked by definite disciplinary action" But
Il insists such action cannot with safety be
taken by bodies not composed OF members OF
the academic profession"
II We understand the report correctly, there
IL no dissent from the proposition that certain
standards must be upheld for university and
college teachers, but that the responsibility for
UNFOLDING them belongs primarily on the teach
ers themselves This is very we'll SO far as II
goes and applies equally to other professions.
There must be standards OF conduct and practice
for lawyers for doctors, for engineers for archi-
tects, for specialists and experts of all kinds.
but they themselves ought to see to their
forcement by self-dscipline. Unfortunately.
they do not always do this, 1t being common
knowledge that shyster lawyers. quaek doctors,
fake engineers and incompetent architects, as
well as false teachers, are countenanced and
allowed TO so their way without interference of
their professional associates, despite the dis
credit they bring upon their calling. Sometimes
the members OF profession do not agree upon
what the standard should be, but more usually

ties OF games OF chance or skin. outdoor and I'm
door sports, have been denominated the ma
tonai" pastime. but each OF these is more or
less sectional in It's nature. or exclusive in its
devotees, 30 that II falls Just a little short OF
being truly national. One diversion does exist
in which all take part. which knows no east, no
west, no north. no south, against which neither
winter cold nor summer heat prevails, and 70
which no eight-hour schedule has ever been
attached. II Is the game OF talking about our

And the paths OF human life are crossed
Where the Rachels weep for their chill

Take tears and dreams to the Farewell
