dispatches to the Baltimore Sun by
one Of its staff. Paul w. Ward From
this and other accounts, it does not
appear that academic freedom, in the
narrower sense, is the primary issue
though. of course. academic freedom
Is necessarily involved in such situa-
tions.
There Is no allegation that DR..
Frank is being dismissed because of
anything he has taught or caused to be
taught. There Is no serious allega-
ton that the regents and Gov. La
Toilette want DR.. Frank out so that
something they believe in shall be
taught or emphasized. In the con-
troversy so far, the charges made by
the regents merely say, broadly, that
DR.. Frank is not a good president,
that he lacks primary qualities essen
tial in the administration OF a univer-
sity" and that he has lost the con-
fidence of those with whom he must
deal" To this Dr. Frank replies that
during his administration the wfscon-
sin graduate school has risen from
seventh TO second In national rank"
and that the university has otherwise
grown and improved. This answer
DR.. Frank presumably will amplify on
January 6. Presumably also the re-
gents will smplify their charges.
La Toilette Men in Control.
That there is some politics in the
controversy most accounts state or
imply. OF the IS regents, 10 were ap-
pointed by Gov. La Toilette (who,
with his brother, is head of the Pro-
gressive party. OF these 10, 8 are
against Or. Frank. These. It is
charged, whether accurately or not,
are acting in accord with Gov. La
Follettes wishes. The FIVE regents
appointed by Governors other than
La Toilette all back DR.. Frank.
Throughout the controversy run
expressions of feeling about DR..
Franks having made speeches at ma
tional gatherings Of the Republican
party. and anti-New Deal speeches
on other occasions. Though he went
to the university II years ago as q
liberal, he has recently opposed much
of the New Deal. Some Of DR.. Franks
friends think that Gov. La Toilette
Is jealous of him and of the power
which goes with DR.. Franks head
ship Of the university. There are
suspicious, whether justified or not,
that Gov. La Toilette would like to
acquire . closer control of the uni

its influence, and of It's alumni's in
