Committee

Resignations
The University senate standing
committee on academic privilege
will investigate the series of five
resignations from the architecture
department last week, according
to an official university announce
ment Tuesday.
Prof. James M. Rejnhardt, of
the sociology department, heads
the senate committee. It Is a
standing committee to investigate
faculty matters which may in
volve infringements of academic
freedom. , -
Linus Burr Smith, head of the
architecture department, released
the following statement concern
ing the situation:
"It is a matter of deep regret
that matters concerning the university-department
of architecture
have become a matter of public
information, before pertinent facts
concerned have been presented be
fore duly constituted university
authorities.
"The department of. architec
ture has made in the past, and
will make in the future, an in
tensive, painstaking effort to se
cure superior instructors. In this
endeavor we, like all other schools
and colleges over the nation, have
been forced to compete with the
high salaries offered by private in
dustry, salaries educational insti
tutions have not been able to
match.
"As a result, the department of
architecture, like all other depart
ments of the university, and other
universities and colleges, has ex
pected the wholehearted co-operation
of faithful faculty members,
putting their shoulders to the
wheel, working hard for long
hours, to provide our students
with the best kind of instruction
possible.
"When a faculty member is un
willing to enter into this co-operative
approach towards solving
a difficult problem, when a fac
ulty members seeks to bostruct
this effort, then conditions are no
longer tolerable.
"The full facts of this case, ab
solutely a matter of campus con
cern, will be placed before the
proper impartial authorities the
committee on academic privileges.
