Dean David Lauds Freedom From Interference in Speech

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Freedom from "unfair interference" in the lives of individuals was last night hailed as the greatest blessing of America by Dean Donald K. David of the Business School. David spoke at a dinner in the ballroom of the Copley Plaza after awards had been presented to leading businessmen as part of the Boston Jubilee.

Three qualities were outlined by Dean David as being the essence of America. They are the "opportunity of the individual to amount to something, a risk-taking, daring, venturesome climate, and a love of competition." He said these qualities were as "American as a weinie-roast."

"Not Basically American"

The Dean criticized the freedom from want and freedom from fear slogans as being "not basically American" because freedom is the "freedom of the individual to care for himself and his family to the best of his ability," he said. Then David blasted "unfair interference" which tried to stop people from "showing what they can do."
