...explained by inadvertence or lack of information concerning the insidiously subtle propaganda of the speaker involved, (who outdoes Mr. H. G. Wells in his own "rayon" in picturing the delights and perfection of Soviet Russia to which even such eminent, advocates of the cause as Miss Emma Goldman seem loath to return) we feel that it would be salutory to have those persons, who are apparently the instigators of this movement which is attempting to insinuate itself into the University life, openly to declare themselves...
