As to Unmuzzled Professors.

COMMENT

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In refusing to interfere in any manner with the freedom of Professor Muensterberg, Harvard has struck a blow for the integrity of educational institutions in the United States. It is overdue. It should have been struck earlier, but unfortunately was not. It is no defence of other universities which have made muzzles and forced them upon the mouths of professors that they preached indefensible doctrines. The thing that is more indefensible than the teaching of indefensible doctrines is the use of force to prohibit the preaching.

Good teaching should have its say; bad doctrines will kill themselves if allowed time and opportunity. They don't need to be garroted. --Pittsburgh Leader.
