Columbia Teacher
Quits Over Grant
By Polish Regime
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, July PA Column
bia University faculty member has
resigned, charging that the Polish
government was attempting "aca-
denic infiltration" at the univer-
sity.
DR.. Arthur Prudden Coleman said
yesterday his decision resulted from
the acceptance by Columbia of a
grant from the Polish government,
which he described as controlled by
Moscow and the Cominform."
To stay at his post, DR.. Coleman
said, he would be "conniving at the
sort of intellectual collaboration "
typif1ed by "the professors who
stayed at their posts and drew fat
salaries during Hitler's regime"
DR.. Coleman, who has been an
assistant professor of Polish Ian
guage and literature at the univer-
sity since 1923, said the grant pro-
vides for the founding of an Adam
Mickiewicz chair Of Polish studies.
Sees collaboration"
DR.. Manfred Kridl, Smith Col
lege faculty member, has been
named incumbent of the new chair.
In letter to Gen. Eisenhower,
Columbia president, DR.. Coleman
said:
by working as a colleague
with a professor in my own field
whose salary is paid by regime
which denies voting and the most
elementary democratic rights to
large sectors of its population,
would be conniving at the sort of
collaboration for which
the conscience of the entire. guild of
professors the world over now
olames the professors who stayed
at their posts and drew fat salaries
during Hitler's regime"
To Act on Resignation Soon.
Prof. Albert C. Jacobs, provost of
Columbia, said DR.. Coleman's resig-
nation would be considered by Gen
Eisenhower and acted on pretty
soon"
He said the university accepted
the Polish grant "on a temporary,
tentative basis" and a first annual
payment of $4,000 was received
about two months ago.
The Adam Mickiewicz chair, he
said, "is in accord with Columbia's S
long-standing policy of furthering
the study of the peoples and cul-
lures of various areas of the earth" I"
He said DR.. Kridl, whom he
described as distinguished scholar
in his field" had been named in
cumbent of the chair without sug-
gestion or advice from any outside
source.

The act was approved at the June

of about 10000 votes. Called the
"anti-garb" act, the law prohibits
any public school teacher from
wearing garb denoting membership
in religious order. 1t was spon-
sored by group of Protestants.
An aide of Bishop Dworschak
said that the sisters will wear ordi-
nary dresses, modern but modest
not extreme"
They will wear some kind Of a
head covering and some may wear
no head covering at all if their hair
grows out enough" he added. They
will probably make their own
dresses"
In their statement, Bishop Ryan
and Bishop Dworschak said that
although some of the acts spon-
sors contended the law would keep
Catholic sisters from teaching, Eve
are informed by competent legal
authority that no law can, under
