Through such automatic dismissal, Perry said, universities would virtually turn over to government their authority to hire and fire. "Even when individuals have been convicted of a crime, or have given offense to public sentiment, the institution must decide, in each case, whether this disqualifies him from serving the institution," he said...
...young man in mill-dotted Lawrence (pop. 80,536), Mass., Peter Akulonis had trouble with the police. He was a poor boy. He was deaf in one ear, and a facial paralysis had twisted his mouth. He rebelled against the world by feats of petty crime-once he hung by his fingertips from a third-story roof for ten minutes trying to escape the cops.

The plot: a powerful newspaper publisher (Fay Roope) objects to his daughter (Joan Weldon) associating with Gambling Boss Frank Lovejoy. Things end fairly happily when Gangster Lovejoy, having come to the conclusion that "you can't run a clean sewer," spills all to a crime investigating committee and goes off to prison knowing that Joan will wait...
