Columbia Students
Decry Expulsion
Petition Declares Removal
of Dana and Cattell Is
Blow at Free Speech

As n protest against the removal of
Professors Cattell and Dana, dismissed
by the Columbia University trustees on
Monday because Of their antiwar ac-
tivtics, a group of students ut Column
bia University has drafted petition
TO be sent TO President Butler.
Although wo do not concur in the
opinions Of Professors Catteil and
Dana" roads the petition, eve believe
that their removal is n blow at freedom
Of speech and contrary to American
ideas Of freedom"
None Of the faculty has committed
himself as yet by signing the petition.
Since none Of them, other than Profess
sors Cattell and Dana, has expressed
opposition to the war, it seems unlikely
that any will take notice Of the matter.
When Professor Dana was told Of the
movement among the students he
seemed surprised. and said that he had
heard nothing of IL. He refused 70
make any sort of statement. however.
Spectator" the university daily
paper. yesterday published an editorial
approving on behalf of the student
body the stand taken by the trustees.
Thomas G.. Shaed!c, the editor pointed
out that no infringement of the right
Of free speech was entalled.
