Western Reserve has announced a decision which may point the way to a precedent in American academic life far broader than any the university had in mind in passing its present resolve. As the order stands it is only designed to exclude from the university's college of arts and sciences all aliens of military age who claim exemption from military service on account of their alien status, and who have not applied for naturalization.
