B.U. Hears Struik On Loyalty Oath

Over 500 students crowded a lecture hall and corridors at Boston University yesterday to hear Dirk Struik, suspended M.I.T. professor, attack the president's loyalty oath. Struik, now under indictment on charges of conspiracy to overthrow the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, was sponsored by the B. U. Progressives.

The loyalty oath, and succeeding intimidation of Americans has struck at the very basis of academic freedom, and persecuted some of the country's leading citizens, Struik said.

Later, he insisted that he was a Marxist, and not a Communist.
