SEES UNIVERSITIES
HOMES OF LIBERTY
Worlds "0nly Hope" View
of Nicholas Murray Butler,
Answering Critics.
Ey tn" Associated Press.

By tn Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 13.-The
universities of the world are "the only
present homes of liberty and appar-
emily it's only hope" Nicholas Murray
Butler, president of Columbia Univer-
sty, said in his twenty-fifth annual re-
port yesterday. Branding the Criti-
cisms against American universities
as Contradictory and self destroying
in character he attacked what he
terms the new Philistines" and
launched a bitter denunciation against
opponents OF the modern educational
system.
"If the voice of liberty be silenced
in the university and the intolerance
that now prevails in church and
in state be permitted ." NV" 10
the precincts of the universities OF
the world" he said, then, indeed
must we be prepared to enter upon
a new and dismal dark age that viii
cast the thoughts and activities OF
man in common and uniform molds,
there to remain until such time as
the unquenchable thirst for liberty
shall again effectively manifest itself
among men,"
Stands for Truth and Liberty.
"No one who really believes in the
power Of truth fears liberty. There
was a time when the Bible was house
hold word throughout the English
speaking world. Then the spot called
Philistia could be indicated on the map
by any child and the doingS of those
doughty warriors, the Philistfnes. were
by no means unfamiliar. Today there
Is new PhiliStia, occupying space
Indefinitely greater than the land for
which it Is named, and peopled by an
active, restless and highly nervous
company of men and women who have
turned it into what the Prophet Jere-
miah described as the land of craven
images, and they are mad upon their
idols The new and numerous Philis-
tines are the proud discoverers and
possessors of a doctrine of behavior
which finds nothing to behave and no
purpose in behaving. Where they
have touched education they are re-
ducing it to costly pantomime.
Modern Philistine Criticized.
when the modern Philistine says
that all time and effort spent upon the
study of the civilizations of Greece
and Rome is wasted, he thereby writes
himself down as not only without edu-
cation, but as incapable of being edu-
Gated. Like a squirrel in a revolving
cage, he may go through the motions
of progress, but of real progress he
can make none, for the simple reason
that he has no point from which to
start and no ideal at which to aim.
Modern education needs nothing so
much as stout resistance of Philistin-
ism in it's every manifestation and a
revival Of the classic spirit.

Permission Is Claimed.

Sprague was represented by ii. NJ.
Fowler, who told the court that per
mission had been given the taxi driv-
ers to park their machines outside of
the defined hack stands as the result
of a conference held with Maj. Covell,
Mr.. Mohler and Sergt. Joseph Har-
rington. District hack inspector.
AS a result the case was continued
for the purpose of summoning the
officials. Sprague was released on $40
collateral.
Mr.. Harrington appeared before
Judge Mcmahon late Saturday after
noon and stated that there must have
been some misunderstanding, as no
such permission had been given the
hackers, nor had officials any author
itv to give such permission He
stated that there had been a confer
nation of hack stands and their use.
Eldridge Disclaims knowledge.
NJ. o. Eldridge, traffic director, ques-
toned today, stated that he knew
nothing whatever about the case.
Mr. Mohler, when interrogated, said
that he did not know anything about
the case, only that he had been sum-
moned to court tomorrow. Sergt. Har-
rington today stated that he remem-
bered a conference being held with
some taxi company officials. but that
it was not of the nature claimed by
Sprague. He stated that he had told
Judge Mcmahon this, and that he was
not requested to appear again tomor'
row.
Mai. Covell could not be reached to-
day.
