Members of AAUP Oppose Loyalty Oath

The Executive Committee of the Harvard Chapter of the American Association of University Professors yesterday resolved to commend President Pusey's action in freezing the loan funds available under the NDEA, "pending consideration of the faculties concerned."

The nine professors further resolved to urge the University not to participate in the NDEA student loan program.

Their resolution was the first official expression of Faculty opinion on Pusey's action. It advocated nonparticipation in any program "which requires the University to exercise administrative responsibility in respect of the kind of oath and affidavit provision contained in that Act."

The Executive Committee is headed by Seymour E. Harris '20, Lucius N. Littauer Professor of Political Economy.
