...Roosevelt had not appeared before the public save in his full magisterial dignity as President of the U. S. In that non-partisan role he lost little if any campaigning advantage.

He met the challenge of defining the always clusive ideal of academic freedom by calling it, "the right of a professor to seek that which we call truth according to the best of his ability and his conscience and expound it to his students as well as he can." The legislator who proposed that the majority of the taxpayers determine just what is truth, places much more faith in the electorate than it has so far merited. Until the millennium arrives it would seem advisable to let each citizen...
