...Bevis' first step has been to deny a Quaker pacifist the right to speak at Ohio. Perhaps Dr. Bevis does not like Quaker pacifists. But to infer that the Quaker's purpose was "the overthrow of our government" is palpably ridiculous. The "overthrow" idea, however, was the trustees' criterion for curbing freedom of speech, and it was thus what Dr. Bevis had to adhere to in his ban. As a state institution, it is natural that Ohio's trustees and Dr. Bevis should try to determine what constitutes inciting to overthrow. But it is not their business...
...learned letters last week on the niceties of biblical translating. One contributor, Steven T. Byington, took a stand against the practice, long common in printing the King James version, of italicizing all words not in the original texts. Byington's objection: the unpracticed reader is apt to infer emphasis where no emphasis is intended. For example, he said, take I Kings...

We infer, rather, that he suggests that the University be "capably" surveyed by a detachment of FBI men rather than by a few part-time middles untrained in the techniques of wire-tapping and infiltration...
...must be gratifying to the CRIMSON that even its advertisements bestir the rest of the newspaper world. The MacArthur ad hit the Boston papers with a hearty "Harvard Vets Oppose MacArthur" headline. But the ad itself cannot be held responsible for what people infer. If, as in this case. Boston newsmen don't have time to do a little investigating, if they happen to interpret paid political ads erroneously, it is no fault of Chandler, Cook, and Knight...
...group is defending the use of bully boy tactics because the tactics are used in a "good cause". I infer that if the same tactics were used by Smith's hoodlums to break up a Communist meeting, that would be a "bad thing." As the W's and du B point out, "the demonstration was incredibly well-organized" and "is it a denial of free speech for the audience to be louder than the man addressing it?" This makes beauty of organization and violence basic criteria in matters of discussion. It puts all opinion not backed by muscles as hard...
