FREEDOM OF DISCUSSION.
There appears in the College Press
department an editorial from the
Daily Californian concerning a pro
tost made by a Ministerial Union be
cause the University permitted a
debate on prohibition in which
speeches were made by students
against the Eighteenth Amendment.
This is not the first time that a pro
test of this kind has been made
against the policy of permitting un
dergraduates to hear all points of
view on a given question. One of
the most interesting of these pro
tests was one made a few years ago
by an alumnus of Dartmouth Col
lege to its President, E. M. Hopkins,
because he allowed a student organ
ization to hear a lecture by W. Z.
Foster, a radical labor leader.
In an exceedingly courageous and
virile reply President Hopkins de
fined the issue which was raised by
this protest and put himself defi
nitely on the side of complete free
dom of discussion. He said in part:
"Believing definitely, however,
that the function of an educational
institution is to allow students ac
cess to different points of view, and
to secure their adherence to conclu
sions on the basis of their own think
ing rather than to attempt to corral
them within given mental areas, I
am bound to hold that freedom of
speech, and even the presentation of
pernicious doctrines is not antagon
istic to the college purpose so long
as access is given to the student to
all points of view and stimulation is
given to his own mind to weigh these
matters for himself As a
matter of practice, entirely aside
from the theory which I have enun
ciated, repression and censorship
never work with an intellectually
alert group of boys I cannot
understand the attitude of men who
wish their sons to go out into the
world entirely uninformed as to
what demagogues and social critics
are saying."
Any attitude other than that of
Dr. Hopkins' must, of necessity, be
based on one of two assumptions;
either that students are not intelli
gent enough to make a wise judg
ment of the ideas presented to them
or that the truth in itself is not
enough and that it must be protected
by artificial means. President Hop
kins' conception of an educational
institution is that it should be a
court room in which ideas and doc
trines may be judged on their merits.
The other conception is that of the
college as an intellectual hothouse in
which the minds of the students may
be carefully protected from the blight
of ideas.
tion, for a letter from Major Erlck
ion states: '
"The facta in the case are as
follows:
"At four o'clock yesterday
(Monday) afternoon, Mr. Rob
' ert Shields called on me and re
' quested that I address the World
Forum on Wednesduy of this
week. Owing to a previous
luncheon engagement for that
day, I could not accept, but In
formed Mr. Shields that I would
be glad to appear before the
World Forum on the following
or any other Wednesday.
"SIDNEY ERICKSON.

P. M. S. & T."
I regret that I did not verify my
information before writing, and
hope that no one will misnpprehend
the situation.

WHICH SHALL IT BE?
An interesting case is before the
court of public opinion. The Church
enters a protest against the Univer
sity for sanctioning n debate on Pro
hibition. Holding that argument on
that subject is not conducive to prop
er respect of the law, and alleging
that the debate was part of n "vi
cious propaganda to discredit law
and the American Constitution," the
Oakland Ministerial Union stirs the
court with sensational charges.
The complaint is simply this: iho
University authorities, by allowing
five young men out of six to speak in
opposition to the Eighteenth Amend
ment, acted in gross disrespect for
the Constitution of the United States
whose very sanctity forbids question.
Seeds of discontent are thus sown
which tend to stifle the spirit of leg
islation.
Shall the objection be sustained or
over-ruled?
The student, before forming an
opinion, considers evil ana goou ais-
passionately. If truth is to guide his
decision, he must regard all evidence.
From his watchtower he scrutinizes
all before he rounds out accurate
opinion. He looks now at Prohibi
tion, and his survey takes in all facts,
good and evil, which relate to the
problem.
It is the inalienable right of schol
arship to ask the "why" of things.
Take away this right and you destroy
all knowledge. Results of injury take
on divergent colors, varying with the
perspective of the investigators. To
arrive at an accurate interpretation
of the various opinions there must be
some way in which they can all be
heard. It is for this reason that we
engage in argument . Debate is noth
ing more than argument conducted
under regulations which insure fair
hearing and fair judgment. The
question then arises, can fair hearing
and fair judgment be obtained when
five men out of six argue against a
proposition leaving only one to speak
for it?
This is the point brought out by
President Campbell when he said yes
terday that "it is contrary to the pol
icy of the University to provide facil
ities for one-sided or partisan pro
grams of that sort. . . . This
policy provides adequately for 'free
speech': three men on one side and
three men on the other side should
somehow manage, in two hours to
present all points of view."
Should the objection be sustained
or over-ruled?
That is to be decided in the court
of public opinion. The Daily Cali
fornian.

AN APOLOGY.
In the Olympian Stuff column in
yesterday's Daily Nebraskan there
appeared an unfortunate reference
to the fact that Major Erickson was
unable to address the World Forum
this week on the subject of compul
sory military training in colleges.
The assumption on which the refer
ence rested was subsequently found
to be without basis in fact. The
Daily Nebraskan regrets that this
mistake was made and hopes that it
will be understood that it was be
cause of a previous engagement and
not because of any personal disinclin
ation for the task that made it Im
possible for Major Erickson to ad
dress the World Forum.

Felix explained in his letter that he was in the pink of

The signers of the Dec
laration of Independence
published something more
than a political pro
nouncement. This famous document
as surely proclaimed
the economics indepen
dence of the American
Colonies.
The signers of the Dec
laration did not act, im
pulsively. The final step
fraught with so' much
future meaning to human
ity was taken only after
the. most earnest and
prayerful consideration
by these men of great
wisdom and discretion.
They weighed not only
the political but the eco
nomic significance of the
step they were about to
take. They took account
of their resources of men
of material of money.
Of men there were too
few. Of materials too
little. Of money there
was none.
But as they had faith
in the political justice of
their act, so, too, had they
faith in the resourceful
ness of their compatriots
and in the future of their
country.
Stretched along a narrow
seaboard on the West a wil
dernesson the East the At
lantic Ocean, which would soon
be blockaded by England s
fleets, cutting off their sources
of merchandise supplies the
Fathers of the Republic real
ized that the colonies would be
thrown upon their own resourc
es. An agricultural people
without manufacturing facili
ties, or experience, or knowl
edge. But still the step was
taken.
Even in their great wisdom
the Signers of the Declaration
could not have foreseen the
progress of the next century
and a half, the hundred and
fifty years now closing.
The era of STEAM was just
dawning. They could not have
foretold the resultant develop
ment of machinery and the
consequent growth of industry.
Nor could they have anticipated
the great part to be played by
America in this commercial
expansion their economic ev
olution. They could not have visioned
the American clipper ships
"Sailing on six oceans, Flying
o'er the seas," and around both
Capes outspeeding, triumph
ing over the vessels of other
nations just as the American
Made Products they carried tri
umphed over those of other
nations.
