COLLEGE B0LSHEvSM
SCORED BY HAMMOND
Yale Alumni at Dinner Hear Ad-
dresses on University Duty
and Privileges.

Declaring that it is important that
college authorities should discourage
the teaching of radical doctrines in
conflict with the American view of
personal liberty, John Hays Ham
mond. speaking at the dinner of the
Washington Yale Alumni Association
last night in the Metropolitan Club,
attacked bolshevism in American uni
Eersft1es. The other speakers were
Senator Medill Mccormick of Illinois
and DIR. E. II. Hume, head of the
medical school of Yale in China. w.
S. Culbertsop. United States tariff
commissioner. president Of the alumni
association. presided.
IF a professor in a medical school
were to tell his students there was
no need for cleanliness in surgery
how long would he be permitted to
remain member of the faculty."
asked Mr.. Hammond. ut is no more
logical to permit professors in the
departments of sociology and DO
litical economy to poison the minds
Of our young men with doctrines
subversive of the very foundations of
our country. doctrines that are advo-
Gated from the soap boxes of sedi-
tionists. and in doing it to wrap
themselves in a garment of AGA
demic freedom
we need level-headed men to
teach in these days. I absolutely dis
agree with those who hold academic
to talk bunk or to preach sedition"
Roosevelt Type Urged.
Mr.. Hammond urged that man of
the Roosevelt type is needed when it
comes to selecting a president of Yale
to succeed President Hadley, who is
retiring next year.
1t is imperative that Yale elect the
right man to direct the affairs of our
alma mater" said Mr.. Hammond. NO
clique or class should try to dictate
the selection of the new head, His
selection is as important as the cleo
i ton of a President of the United
States
! Senator Mccormick said that Yale
should seek to become a national uni
i versity. and to this end should seek
| her faculty and her students from all
! parts Of the country.
/: He attacked those who ATTEMPTED
to restrict academic freedom, espe-
| cially in voicing political opinions.
! IF President Hadley,' he said,
| chose to come out with statement
! in favor of Herbert Hoover's candi-
dacy for President. whether we agree
/ with him or not it is foolish to saw
| that he was not acting entirely with
in his rights. If colleges lack free
atrophy."
