...cannot allow this misconseption of their statement to stand. President Conant, both as one of the "20" and as the head of an institution which has always meant academic freedom, cannot let this misconception stand. He must make a statement, in Harvard's name as well as his own, contradicting the impression left by the press. We are fundamentally opposed to the President's position that Communists per se are unfit as teachers, but we are confident that his ideals are completely incompatible with those of the "Little Dies" committees. We are confident he would oppose any action resembling...
...this: If you hate a black man for being black, he hates your guts for being a bigot. And if you needle him long enough, he's liable to go out of his mind--just as you would. It is not a very fancy message, and it doesn't make for a pleasant, vapid evening at the movies.

...personally confirmed his complete agreement with the Commission's policy statement, it would be almost impossible to believe. The CRIMSON respects and admires the President both as an individual and as a national figure. President Conant and his administration have fought the enemies of academic freedom. They have helped make the University one of the stronger positive forces in this country protecting the privileges of an unhampered search for knowledge and truth. It is therefore with regret and disappointment that the CRIMSON finds itself opposed to President Conant on an issue that is so vital to academic freedom...
...party, the Communists do not demand blind obedience to party policies. Second, even if all Communists surrendered their "intellectual integrity," there are large areas of learning where politics is completely irrelevant. An ardent party-liner in the field of government is one thing--his dogma could well make him incompetent to teach objectively--but a party-liner in Spanish or psychology or Old English is an entirely different case...
