Replying to charges in the local press that universities were "hotbeds of Communism" and that by implication, through his support of Loyalist Spain, he himself was a Communist, Kirtley F. Mather, professor of Geology, last night branded these statements as "the universal trick of all people trying to sway public opinion...
...have not known exactly where they want to go, nor how fast. Princeton Theological Seminary's President Dr. John Alexander Mackay, an articulate, lofty-minded Presbyterian with missionary experience, summed the matter up in his "historymaking" inaugural address at Princeton last year: "The new crusading religions (Fascism, Naziism, Communism) . . . are schooled in massive thought systems, which make the average Christians who come up against them feel like infants. . . .

Like communism the word indifference has a kind of African mystery to it, as thought if analyzed, it might explode in one's face and release snakes and tigers.
