Struik's Suspension Terminated by MIT

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology last Saturday ended the four-and-one-half year suspension of Dirk J. Struik, professor of Mathematics at M.I.T.

The revocation of Struik's suspension came one day after an indictment charging him with conspiracy to overthrow the Federal and State governments was quashed in Middlesex Superior Court. The quashing resulted from the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that the Federal Smith Act superseded Massachusetts' subversives law.

Struik has been under suspension with pay since September, 1951. He called the dismissal of the indictment "good news for the forces of sanity in this country."
